The doula support you receive is intuitive, evidence based, and backed by years of experience and education (including a degree in neuroscience!). My goal is to not replace the support of your provider and partner, but to round it out, and complete it!

 

The average provider visit during pregnancy is approximately 10 to 15 minutes, sometimes even less than that! This is generally enough time to touch on their necessary points (vitals, measurements, etc.), but it's not near enough for you to get everything you need! 

​

When pregnant, you need to know ways to prepare for birth, what your options are, and establish your preferences so you can carry, birth, and nurture your baby with confidence.​ 

​

When delivering, you need someone who can help you carry out, and advocate for these goals! Then, in the postpartum period, you need support to encourage recovery, bonding, and build a great foundation for your infant. ​

 

For your prenatal visits, we will establish your goals for pregnancy, birth, and parenting. Then, in those visits, combined with your childbirth education (Check out the Gentlebirth Workshops!), you will receive evidence based information, as well as neuroscience based tools to build emotional resilience, reduce pain, and develop tools to improve your pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and parenting experiences.  ​
