Services: I work with women and their partners in a variety of settings including hospitals, birth centers and home. It is my intention to help women and their partners have the kind of birth they desire. As your doula, I will help you prepare for labor and birth with prenatal visits in your home. I accompany you into labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. I provide emotional support, physical comfort, and facilitate communication between you and your Health Care Practitioner, as needed. I provide reassurance, encouragement and perspective to you and your partner; make suggestions to aid in the progress of labor, and help with position changes, massage, relaxation methods and other techniques for easing labor pain. Please visit my website for more information on my services.

Qualifications: I am a 1999 graduate of Brenneke School of Massage, and completed Childbirth Education training and Birth Doula training in 2001 at Seattle Midwfiery School. I am a member of Doulas of North America International (DONA), and Pacific Association for Labor Support (PALS).

Personal notes: I became interested in working with pregnant women while in massage school, and specialized in pregnancy massage. In 2001 I trained to become a Childbirth Educator and also a Birth Doula. In 2002 I began to work as a Post Partum doula at the request of my birth doula clients.
