​First, let me tell you what a doula is and what we do.

A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical and informational support during pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period.

The word "doula" comes from Ancient Greek and, in its original form, meant “woman who serves.” While the modern concept emerged in recent decades, the practice of having a dedicated support person during and after childbirth has existed in many cultures for centuries.

This work is not a trend, it's a return to something deeply human: The right to be supported while you bring new life into the world and adjust to your new role. 


We are not replacements for midwives, nurses, or doctors.

We work alongside them, supporting you in ways the medical system often wishes it could, but doesn’t always have time for.

Unlike clinical staff who rotate and focus on medical needs, a doula offers presence, continuity and calm through one of life’s most intense transitions.

While your midwife cares for your health or your baby, I care for your experience as a whole.

I stay. I listen. I support continuously.

Now, let me tell you why this care matters...
 

Because care should center you, not just the birth, not just the baby. You don’t need someone to take over. You need someone who sees you, holds space for you, and helps you move through it with clarity and confidence.

 

And because clinical care alone is not enough,  and it’s not meant to be. 

Why bring me into your world?

Better outcomes during birth

Lower risk of cesarean, fewer complications, shorter labors, and less need for medical interventions.
That’s the power of the
doula effect, proven by years of research.

Consistent care in a

fragmented system

Midwives, nurses and doctors rotate, but a doula stays. You get someone by your side before, during and after birth.
A familiar presence through it all.

Partner inclusion

They don't have to be “the strong one” all the time. A doula gives partners tools, confidence and calm, so they can support you and feel supported too.

Well-being booster

Reduced risk of postpartum mood disorders.
More bonding.
More breastfeeding success.
More space for you to feel held, not just functional.

Confidence booster

No overload. No contradictions.
You’ll get evidence-based, personalized guidance to make choices you can trust, without feeling lost or second-guessing yourself.

Connections that go

beyond the basics

Need more support? I can connect you with trusted professionals, community resources or services tailored to your needs.
