I trust birth. I trust the bodies that give birth, and I know that birth is safest when women and birth givers stand fully in their own power, and when their partners are empowered in their authentic roles. This is why I endeavor to offer education, first and foremost to birthing families, that they may truly know and understand their birthright to sovereignty in their experience.

​

When A family hires me as

part of their birthing team,

 we begin to build a relationship

based on a mutually

held vision of their birth experience.

Trusting birth, together we find the deeper questions about

how to walk into the unknown. What do we need? What no longer serves? 

It is an intimate dance to be a doula. I will be with a family through some of their most vulnerable, transformational, and emotionally tender times.

These are waters I tread with the upmost reverence and respect.

These are sacred times. 

I have served over 115 families as their doula, and hundreds more via our Sacred Pregnancy retreats, ceremonies, and postpartum experiences. 

Watching as women become mothers on their own terms, fathers become archangels-enveloping their beloveds in their protective embrace. Watching little ones rise to their callings as big brothers and sisters.

This is to stand at the most holy of gates.

​​

So, what does holistic doula support look like?

  I offer comprehensive, mind-body-spirit support throughout the childbearing journey. Blending the heart of doula work with alternative wellness practices, homeopathy, herbal offerings, hypnotherapy, craniosacral therapy, spiritual/emotional holding, and ancestral wisdom.
