Doulas have been shown to improve birth outcomes such as...

One study found a decrease of 11.3% in epidural use*

One study found a 40.9% decrease in caesarean rates**
Educational, Physical, and Emotional Support before, during, and after labor. Got questions about a good belly band for that third trimester pain? Need someone's hand to squeeze during those contractions? Need a little extra support during that first attempt at breastfeeding? I've got you covered!
I believe in the power of laughter and know that a well timed joke can do wonders in labor. I think approaching birth with both levity and reverence is the 'secret sauce' to my doula service.
To date I've helped with three births including one home birth and I'm actively working towards DONA certification. I'm also a stay at home mom to a toddler so not only have I been pregnant recently but I'm in the thick of it with you!
While I'm still new to this industry and the world of birth at large, I approach every new experience with excitement and joy. Being a doula allows me to pass on the good birth karma I had from my own son's birth and scratch that tiny scrunchy baby itch!
