About Me, Why I became a Doula, What is a Doula?
A birth Doula is a support for you and your partner before, during, and after your birth. I am trained to give physical, emotional, and informational support to you and your loved ones throughout your journey. I offer two pre-natal meetings for you and your partner. During the initial prenatal visit, I will get to know you and your partner on a deeper level. I will ask what your priorities are and explore any anxieties or concerns you may have.
I will stay with you throughout the entire birthing process; and I am there an hour after for any additional support. I am a certifying birth Doula, which means I have attended a three-day intensive training on the tools that are necessary to have when assisting with a live birth. I have the skills it takes to help you and your partner before, during, and after your birth.
In addition to my Doula training, I have my bachelor’s degree in both Sociology and Social Work. As someone who has worked in these three fields, I understand the importance of practicing empathy daily. I have a very calming presence, which I believe will help you and your family through this exciting, but sometimes stressful, time. I will be attentive to you and your partner’s needs throughout the laboring process. I have a passion for helping people and I want to support birthing people before, during and after their births. I believe that the birthing process is an extraordinary part of life. It is an honor to be a part of you and your family’s birth story.
