Services:

She will be available by phone throughout your pregnancy and will be on call 24/7 for 2 weeks prior to and following your due date. Once you call to say that you're in labor she will counsel you over the phone until you would like her to join you either at your home (preferred) or at the hospital.

From then on she will use her expertise to guide, comfort and support you through your entire labor until the birth of your baby.

Doulas will often use a hands-on approach to reduce stress and anxiety during labor. However, the list of comfort measures is much more extensive and includes such things as position changes, massage, relaxation, breathing techniques, counter-pressure, visualization, acupressure, aromatherapy, vocalization and various water therapies.

Qualifications:

I am a DONA trained labor doula as well as a Lamaze Childbirth Educator and Natual Health Consultant serving the counties of Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Westchester, Manhattan and Bergen.

Personal notes:

Pregnancy and birth is a journey in which each woman must find her OWN way.

Exploring your options & gathering information is the first step in having the birth experience that is right for YOU.

It is time to put the JOY back into birth... time to trust our bodies and our wisdom. As women we KNOW how to do this: we must find our peace while keeping our passion.

Whether it is finding a yoga class, a birth ball or a diapering service... or whether it means accompanying you to a doctor's appointment, rubbing your back during labor, explaining a complex medical procedure or just listening and supporting you through it all... let me help guide you through the mysteries of pregnancy, childbirth and parenting.

I promise it will be the journey of a lifetime!
