Services: I provide support to families through pregnancy, labor and birth. I offer my support using massage, acupressure, aromatherapy, and guided imagery techniques. I help the other’s involved with the labor as well as the mother. I give the father/partners ideas and support by helping him/her to be involved as much as is comfortable. I believe that part of my role is to facilitate a positive experience for the entire family. I include two prenatal visits, continuous support during labor, and one postnatal visit. At the prenatal visits I help with childbirth preparation through birth plan counseling, exercises, and demonstration/ exploration of comfort measures that work for you. I will be on 24 hour call for you during the month of your due date. I also have a back up doula that you can meet with prior to the birth.

Qualifications: DONA

Personal notes: I am a volunteer doula at OHSU with a group called PDX doulas. I am a mother of two boys. I have a very helpful husband who works from home so that I can be available for my clients.
