MY PHILOSOPHY

Young deer nuzzling a resting deer in a forest with leaf-covered ground

Birth isn’t just a day you get through — it’s a memory you’ll carry with you for the rest of your life. Even if you don’t have all the words for it yet, you probably already have a strong sense of how you want that day to feel. There’s a vision inside you — maybe quiet, maybe clear — that this experience matters. That how you’re supported, how you’re spoken to, and how you’re held through it all will shape your memory of becoming a parent.

My role as your doula is to help you connect to that vision and bring it into the choices you make — from how you prepare, to how you respond in the moment. I’m here to help you understand your options, ask the right questions, and move forward in a way that feels aligned and informed.

When things unfold differently than expected, I’m there too — not to fix it, but to help you stay grounded in your values and to find meaning and clarity even in the unexpected. I believe you already hold so much wisdom about what you need. I’m here to help you trust that knowing, and to feel supported in carrying this experience forward not just as something you got through, but as a day you can look back on with strength, peace, and even beauty.

I do not care what kind of birth you have… a home birth, scheduled cesarean, epidural hospital birth, or if you birth alone in the woods next to a baby deer. I care that you are supported in your choices, and that you were respected.”
