My Approach as a Baby-Led Birth Doula:

My role as your doula is to hold space for you as you step into your power, supporting you in discovering your strength and embracing the incredible journey of motherhood. Helping mama and baby connect while baby is in the womb and birthing process. While I  provide consistent, loving, and non-judgmental support that fosters a safe and nurturing environment for both the mother and her partner. Here’s how I approach my role.

Holistic, Non-Medical Support:

I offer a holistic approach to birth, focusing on the emotional, physical, and informational support of the family. My role is not to replace medical care, but to complement it—empowering you to make informed decisions and trust your body’s innate wisdom. I am a steadfast presence during labor, providing comfort measures, emotional encouragement, and guidance as you navigate this life-changing journey.

Personalized Care for Your Unique Needs:

Every family and every birth is different, so my support is always tailored to meet your individual needs. Before birth, I take time to get to know you, your preferences, and your concerns. This helps me provide specific, personalized strategies for managing labor, easing discomfort, and creating a calm, supportive environment.

Offering space for you to process any previous birth experiences if needed, and work through any fears or anxieties you may have. Together, we can explore information about the physical aspects of labor and the stages of birth, helping you feel more confident and prepared. I believe that understanding the journey ahead and having a clear, honest dialogue about your options is key to making the best choices for yourself and your baby. Whether it’s creating a birth plan, offering techniques for relaxation, or discussing the stages of labor, I am here to ensure your birth experience aligns with your vision and empowers you to trust in your strength.

Empowering You to Trust Your Body:

I believe that every woman has the strength and power to give birth in a way that feels right for her. My job is to help you tap into that power, nurturing your intuition and creating space for you to embrace your role as a mother. Through continuous support, I help you trust your body’s cues and progress, ensuring you feel safe, confident, and empowered in the decisions you make during labor.

Continuous Support:

From early labor through the postpartum period, I am there to guide and support you. Whether it’s helping with relaxation, offering breathing exercises, or providing a calming presence, I remain with you throughout your labor—offering physical comfort, emotional reassurance, and advocacy. I am also there for your partner, ensuring they feel confident, informed, and involved every step of the way.

Evidence-Based Information:

I offer clear, evidence-based information so that you can make informed decisions that are best for you and your baby. It’s important to me that you feel empowered to make choices that align with your values, whether that involves birth preferences, pain management, or postpartum care. Together, we’ll explore all your options so you can feel confident and prepared.

After Birth Support:

Postpartum care is just as important as birth preparation, and I offer ongoing support after your baby is born. From breastfeeding assistance to helping you navigate the emotional transition into motherhood, I’m here to help you adjust and thrive during this exciting and sometimes challenging time.
