My Mission 

Let me empower you with the tools, knowledge and emotional support you need to have the birthing experience you desire. Every birthing mother wants to write her own story and I believe you can. What is it that you desire? Water birth? Hospital birth? VBAC? Let’s connect. I truly believe giving birth can be the most magical experience and I am so very honored to be on this journey with you.

Why even have a doula?  

Research has shown that using a doula can make a difference: 

  • decreases overall Cesarean rate by 50% 
  • decreases the length of labor by 25% 
  • decreases the use of Pitocin by 40%
  • decreases the requests for an epidural by 60.2%
  • increases the likelihood of having a more positive birth experience

$150.00 Greening of your Home
Without adequate ventilation (which most homes do not have), cleaning products can leave your home full of toxic air that can cause respiratory issues especially with your pets and little ones. Replacing these products with cleaner items is the best way to keep your family safe from the harsh chemicals. Let me guide you in disposing of all the bad stuff and finding the right products for you and your family.
