Services: Please contact me about a free information packet! Labor doula services include 2-3 prenatal visits (so that I can understand what you want from your birth expereince). One of these visits should be at one of your caregivers appointments.

I am with you from the time you feel you need me, throughout the entire labor and for a time after the birth. I do an immediate postpartum visit (within 48 hours) and then one more after you have settled home. I am available to my labor clients, for postpartum doula work (childcare, breastfeeding support, light housework, meal preparation, errand running, etc.). I also offer digital pregnancy, childbirth and newborn photography. Please contact me with your questions today!

Qualifications: I am DONA trained, with my certification in the works, as a labor/birth doula. I have had several births. I am very involved in the local association, and all thinks birth related! I have a veterinary medicine background, and plan on enrolling in nursing courses this coming spring.

Personal notes: I am a 34 year old mother of two young boys. I was a Registered Veterinary Technician in emergency and critical care facilities for nine years before becoming a stay at hime mother. (I was also a marine mammal trainer! :) )I was a doula for friends, when I decided that I wanted to explore becoming a doula professionally. I have been blessed with some wonderful birth expereinces. Both my own and clients! I love this work! My biggest concern is that women get the information and support they need and want, to have the best birth experience possible!
