What does care with me look like?

As a Doula, I am here to provide support, encouragement, care, and helpful education along the way both before and after your child is brought into your home. All while helping create a loving environment for your entire family to move into this new phase of life. This period of your life needs only be defined by your needs and wants. It is my ultimate goal to be able to foster a calm and uplifting environment, and a space to give your family one on one personalized and non-judgemental care.

As your Doula, I will work with you and your family to create an individualized birth and or postpartum plan that works for everyone. Each family is unique so working on these plans ahead of time should give us a better stepping-off point ahead of babies arrival. With over fourteen (14) years of childcare experience, I am confident that we will be able to create a plan together that best serves your family for this time of life. I want to make sure everyone in the home feels cared for, supported, well-fed, and heard during this time.
