Picture
My role as a doula is to help provide unique positive contributions to the care of the woman before, during, and after her baby is born.  
As a birth doula, my goal is for the woman to have a safe, satisfying and quality birth experience as she defines it. 

As a postpartum doula, my goal is to pamper the new mom by providing as much comfort, nurturing and care to help her adjust to her new role, even if it is not her first birth. 

As the mother of 10 and grandmother of many, I am blessed with much hands-on, practical knowledge coupled with professional training as a birth and postpartum doula, Life Coach, infant and baby sleep-scheduler, spinning babies specialist and breastfeeding counselor.  I would be honored to be invited to support you in your birth and postpartum experience as your doula.
