Birth & Postpartum Doula

You might ask… why is a birth doula on a grieving website? Becoming a mother has all sorts of changes and losses and growth points. I want to be here for mothers in all of those aspects. Mothers become a new person when they have a child, with each child they have, their old self “dies” and they become a “new self” that they need to get to know and love. This is good for us, AND there is also a grieving process within this beautiful change.  

As a birth doula, I believe that pregnancy, birth and life beyond is sacred and unique. I am a loving and passionate advocate for the birthing mother. I believe that every woman has the right to birth where she feels the most comfortable, whether at home, in nature, birth center, hospital or anywhere in-between. The bridge to motherhood is an important time in a woman’s life no matter how many births she has had. As women we should feel empowered, safe, and loved throughout the whole experience.

I am comfortable and skilled in supporting moms in whatever birth path they choose making sure that every woman feels accomplished, supported, and welcomed into motherhood with love, peace, health and harmony.

Postpartum is also a unique part of my practice. I enjoy the miracle of life and I am skilled in childcare, healing of the body, nutrition, essential oils, and have access to a variety of references for mother’s needs. I especially love to pamper moms and creatively support them after the birth of their children. My postpartum practice is much different than most. I specialize in self-care and healing of the mother.
