Doulas can lead to a shorter labor, a substantial decrease in the use of analgesia, oxytocin and epidural requests. I am committed to help you find ways to support your ideal birth. I can provide early labor support at home, helping you while you are in labor before you are ready to go to the hospital or birth center. I am proficient in massage, positioning, comfort measures, visualization, relaxation and breathing techniques to make birth a positive, confident and blissful experience. I have experience working with first-time and experienced moms. First time mothers often need extra preparation and advocacy help. I will be with you every step of the way helping you navigate your birthing experience, guiding you and your partner through the natural transitions and emotions of labor.
