Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
I work directly for my clients. But I work with and alongside other birth workers. Each of us has an important role, and teamwork and collaboration are extremely important and valuable during a highly vulnerable time of one’s life. I work well with Nurses, OB's and MW's.

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
Many people hiring doulas are looking for pain management and position support when out of hospital, often because they are choosing a low invention and often drug-free vision for their birth. While I have advocacy and trauma informed training, I am also well versed in physiological birth, the nervous system, Labor Flow, and hands on support techniques. I love working with midwives and the feeling is mutual!

Attends home births? Any Home Birth
Home birth is unique. When all is well, a birthing person gets to have everyone come to them; they get to stay home and bring their baby into the world! Having your things, smells, and people with you in a space that’s comforting and familiar really makes for an inviting welcome and sometimes more ease in labor. My role doesn’t change from place to place; I’m there for you, in your corner wherever you are, in whatever ways you need.
