A doula is a non-medical care provider, trained to support folks as they navigate significant life transitions and events.

Doulas provide emotional and informational support, and when serving in-person, physical support (think soothing touch, massage), and in all contexts, they highlight good comfort and coping techniques, as well as advocacy tools to empower their clients and families along the way. Doulas do not replace medical care providers; instead, we serve alongside them, offering a compassionate, whole-person, non-clinical layer of support. 

There are many kinds of doulas:

• Abortion doulas

• Bereavement doulas

• Fertility doulas

• Birth doulas

• Postpartum doulas

• Full Spectrum doulas who address all of these reproductive matters 

• Death doulas

Specifically, as a birth doula, the job description is to support people through birth. And although some birth doulas meet their clients or patients of medical care providers at “hello” in their birthing space, many mothers and birthing families connect with their birth doula long before birth, receiving prenatal support for many weeks or many months.

Although many birth doulas support births in homes, freestanding birth centers, and hospitals, some only provide support in one particular setting. Most birth doulas are independent practitioners, while some work in pairs, collectives, or agencies. Some are hired by hospitals, and others volunteer in various birthing settings.

Yes, I am! To provide an exceptionally supportive experience and elevate my commitment to supporting you through any birthing scenario, and eliminate reason for absence beyond the unfortunate—an illness, accident, or Act of God—I dedicate my birth support calendar to one family at a time. You will always be my only birth support client between your 38th and your 42nd expected week of pregnancy. No need to worry about me delivering double-hip squeezes or whispering sweet affirmations to someone else when your time comes. I am available exclusively to and for you and your family.

I prioritize my rich and flowing personal service to few over a stacked pool of clientele in my birth support work. Here’s why:

Your care is exclusive. I do not overlap the estimated due dates (EDDs) of my clients, ensuring that your week 38 to week 42 is reserved exclusively for you and your birthing support. Unless an illness, accident, or act of God requires that I need to call on my back-up doula - I am who you will be supported by through birth. In my years of practice, I have yet to miss a labor or birth. You have my undivided attention during this precious time in your life, and I have designed my work to commit to you in this way.

I value connection. I offer private contracts to families I feel a genuine ease and connection with. Birth work is an intimate partnership, and I want to ensure we’re a great fit to walk this journey together.

My family matters, too. Supporting your journey to and through birth is a deep investment, not just for you, and for me, but for my family as well. Birth work involves long on-call periods and personal sacrifice. There are times when I miss birthdays, holidays, and other important family occasions - so I think of this when I say yes to a client. I honor my family by taking on a limited caseload, so I can give 100% to you and remain fully present for my family.

When I’m on call for you, I’m available 24/7. You can call me anytime, day or night, and I’m ready to travel to you.
