Childbirth Education.  Birth Doula Services.  Confident Parents.

My mission:   To provide knowledge and support in regard to pregnancy and birth to all of my students and clients. I welcome all couples and their preferences for birth, yet I focus on the benefits of natural birth, empowered choice, healthy lifestyle, and active parenting. Positive communication with my client's birth team is paramount for my success as a support person and positive, fulfilling births for my clients. I prefer to customize my doula services for each client to suit their unique and individual needs during pregnancy and birth.

What I Think:   I believe that all women and their partners are entitled to choice when it comes to labor and birth. Acquiring knowledge and technique regarding pregnancy, labor and birth is your key to unlocking the world of maternal care, and gaining control of your experience. This course is designed to help you understand and embrace the natural bodily function of birth. Few experiences can be as empowering and rewarding as realizing your body's full potential to bring life into the world. Using empowering and practical information from my educator training and drawing from my doula background, I am prepared to lead you and your partner to the birth you want. My course will teach you how to understand the process of labor and birth. It gives you and your coach tools to recognize and cope with labor, guidelines for consumerism, and many other topics surrounding labor, birth, breastfeeding, and parenting. Birth is a magical, wonderful time of life. All babies and their parents are precious and deserve the best care and attention. My goal is to help you through this time and focus on the ultimate goal of a healthy, positive birth experience.
