I deeply believe that women's bodies are perfectly and incredibly designed to transform themselves in order to grow, birth, and nourish babies, and that the majority of birthing challenges result from interference with these natural processes. That said, I understand that each and every pregnancy and birth is unique, and I respect every woman's right and ability to make the best decisions for them
Hi everyone, I wanted to let you all know that I'm currently in nursing school and unfortunately, won't be able to offer doula services for the time being. While I'm excited to embark upon this new journey and expand my knowledge and skillset, I understand that this might pose an inconvenience for some who were hoping to work with me. I apologize for any disappointment, and please know that I'll miss supporting you during such a special and transformative time. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like a referral to another doula. Thank you for your understanding! đź’›
In addition to a smooth and rapid post-partum recovery, having a healthy pelvic floor helps you significantly throughout your pregnancy and to be better equipped for childbirth!
The wonderful Mikayla Morley at LifeWorks Studio is teaching a two-part Pelvic Floor Workshop on January 29th and February 5th.
Join me, I'll be there!!
Workshop & Series — Lifeworks Studio Join us in-person or online for pre-natal yoga with ongoing conversation to help prepare your body and your life for the rest of pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. A great opportunity to meet other birthing people.
Education and good preparation help birthers and their partners immensely in realizing the birth experience they envision and hope for!
Here's a local Childbirth Ed class that is definitely worth checking out!

Here's a question I get asked frequently:
"How will hiring you affect my partner’s role during the birth?"
Answer: Your partner is your number one supporter!
As your Birth Doula I am another member of the birth team and support everyone in their own role. A doula’s presence helps fathers or partners participate at their own comfort level, showing them how and when to use various comfort techniques, providing information, and in some cases, looking after them as well. Partners are often grateful to be able to share the “coaching” responsibility with someone more experienced, and can therefore enjoy the birth experience more.
“I imagine a world in which
all humans are born with an
intact capacity to love,
and I am willing to devote my
life to making it happen.”
~ Robin Lim
Why hire a Birth Doula?
Multiple randomized control studies have found that the presence of a trained doula benefits everyone. The studies have consistently shown that doula care is associated with shorter labors, less use of epidurals and other pain medications, lower episiotomy rates, and as much as a 50% reduction in the C-section rate. Research has also shown better clinical outcomes for both the mother and the baby (including fewer admissions to neonatal special care units, better breastfeeding rates, and better family bonding). A doula also provides care for the mother’s partner and other family members, assists busy hospital staff, saves money, and greatly increases a mother’s overall satisfaction with her birthing experience.
