There is so much preparation for the arrival of a baby.

And often, far too little preparation for the woman who is becoming a mother.

Pregnancy, birth and the weeks that follow can be among the most physically, emotionally and psychologically profound transitions in a woman’s life.

My doula work is about helping you move through that transition feeling more informed, more prepared, more nourished and more supported.

That support does not have to begin in the birth room.

And it does not have to end there.

We can begin long before labor, with education, preparation, nourishment, conversations about your hopes and preferences, support for your partner, and practical planning for the weeks after your baby arrives.

And much of this work can happen wherever you are.
