Published data indicate that one of the most effective tools to improve labor and delivery outcomes is the continuous presence of support personnel, such as a doula…the presence of continuous one-on-one support during labor and delivery was associated with improved patient satisfaction and a statistically significant reduction in the rate of cesarean delivery.

Comprehensive Doula Support
Physical Support
I provide hands-on comfort and guidance to help ease labor and encourage optimal birth positioning. From comforting touch and counter-pressure to breathing techniques and rebozo use, I bring the “doula magic” that can make a real difference. With skilled hands and positioning tools, I can often assist a malpositioned baby in navigating the pelvis, helping bring them safely into your arms.
Emotional Support
Birth is an intense, transformative experience—one that deserves a space of calm, connection, and confidence. I help create an environment where the hormones of labor can flow optimally, easing overwhelming emotions and supporting your unique birth journey. Whether your birth is completely unmedicated or medically complex, nurturing and connection matter.
Partner Support
The birth partner’s experience is important too. Whether it’s a romantic partner, a close friend, or a beloved family member like the baby’s grandparent, I support them in being as involved as they’d like. My role is to empower and guide them, ensuring they feel confident and included in this life-changing moment.
Evidence-Based Information & Advocacy
As a certified DONA International and ICEA-trained doula, I help families access trusted, evidence-based resources so they can make informed decisions. I support open communication between birthing people and providers, helping you find your voice and advocate for the care you deserve.
