History
“The word 'doula' comes from the ancient Greek meaning: "a woman who serves", and is now used to refer to "a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.” — DONA International

Free Initial Consultation
Choosing a Doula who will be present at your birth is an important decision that is shaped by many factors, including experience, training, and philosophy of care. I offer an initial free consultation that gives you a better sense of who I am as a Doula and what I have to offer. This meeting is informal and carries no obligation. Want to meet? Contact us today!
