I believe that every woman should have the best possible birth experience. As a doula, I am committed to making your voice heard and desires of a beautiful birth fulfilled. My goal is to help you feel empowered and respected.
The word, "doula," comes from the Greek word for the most important female slave or servant in an ancient Greek household, the woman who helped the lady of the house through her childbearing. The word has come to refer to "a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during and just after childbirth."
