Everything in my life has prepared me for my calling as a Doula and I am very passionate about birth. Your experience with the birth of your baby is a very important step to the relationship you will develop for the rest of your lives. I will do my best to insure you and your partner have the most beautiful experience possible. I specialize in hydrotherapy, relaxation/tension release, massage, the birth ball and patterned breathing. I am also a Breastfeeding Support Specialist. Knowledge is power. I can help to educate you so you and your partner can decide what is best for you and I will respect your choices. To see the tears in a fathers eyes as he looks at the mother of his child and his new born baby is sacred! I feel honored and privileged to witness such a powerful event.
