What Is A Doula?

​

Professionals-

Birth doulas are professionals with training in how to support families during pregnancy, labor, birth, and immediate postpartum. A Doula does not perform any medical procedures but instead provide you with continuous emotional, physical, and informational support.

​

Agenda Free-

Birth doulas do not have an agenda, give advice, or assume there is a “right” way to give birth. Your goals are our goals, and we offer education and information so you can make informed decisions that are congruent with your family’s needs and values.

​

Flexible-

Birth doulas are flexible and know how to navigate birth’s unexpected twists and turns. If unforeseen circumstances should arise, your doula remains calm, keeps you informed on what is happening, and helps you adapt to changing circumstances. Doulas are attentive to your hopes and fears, respectful of your choices, and inspire confidence in your ability to labor and birth.

As a birth and postpartum doula, I believe every woman has a choice about the way she wants to birth & parent, and what kind of birth story she wants to write. I want to honor her choices and support her through birth as well as postpartum. Every woman and partner should have the love, care and respect to bring a child into the world and to start parenthood with a positive feeling in a nonjudgmental environment. The journey of birth is different for every mother and I cant wait to show your true beautiful potential.

As a consultant with DoTERRA Essential Oils I want to include oils in labor to create a calm and relaxing environment. I believe that essential oils soothe the soul!

In my free time I am enjoying time with my husband and 5 children! I love to watch my oldest boys play baseball and one day my dream is to own property and have a small farm.
