My Role as a Birth Doula

I am not a medical professional. However, I offer emotional support, information, and reassurance to people transitioning into parenthood. I serve as a comforting presence in clinical and in-home settings, addressing your inquiries and guiding you through the birthing process.

I can help reduce anxiety and ensure you feel well-informed and empowered throughout your experience. I always prioritize respecting your choices, delivering non-judgmental aid, and fostering a secure and supportive atmosphere during this life-changing experience.

After Care

I want to assure you that my support doesn't end with your hospital stay. In fact, I am here for you not only during your birthing experience but also afterward, with two dedicated in-home visits.

During these post-birth visits, I will make sure to check in on you to help you process your birthing experience and provide any emotional support you may need. I understand that this can be a transformative and emotional time, and having someone to talk to and share your feelings with can be immensely beneficial.

In addition to emotional support, I am more than willing to assist with various household tasks to ease your transition. This includes preparing meals, taking care of laundry, and helping out with any other chores or responsibilities that may have piled up.

My goal is to create a nurturing environment that allows you to focus on your well-being and bonding with your newborn while ensuring you have the time and space for some well-deserved rest and recovery.
