When I was birthing my children, I experienced nearly every single medical intervention, not fully understanding that I had options. Today I am more fully aware of the scope of what birth can look like, and I’m in a position to offer that knowledge and support to others. Working in labor and delivery for a few years gave me an understanding of the language within the medical birthing community, and being a doula has given me the ability to help birthing families navigate their choices. My intention is to empower you to make decisions during birth that work best for you. I am here to help you understand what your choices are, and how each decision can affect your birthing experience. There are many options available when it comes to birth. During a hospital birth, for example, there are many pain-management choices including methods to support unmedicated births. Often families don’t know all the options available to them. I am here to help you navigate each step along the way to fulfill your personal birth preferences.
