Empowering Mothers. One Birth At A Time.

I am a Certified (SBD) Labor Doula, Specializing in Bereavement/Loss, NICU, Adoption, Surrogacy, Post-Partum, Birth Trauma, & C-Section. I welcome LGBT families and single parents.

I have been working as a labor doula since 1997. For many years I volunteered my time with teen mothers and worked for family and friends.

***My passion as a doula: Empowering Mothers. One Birth At A Time.***

Every birth is a unique and intimate experience. I am honored each and every time I am welcomed to help a pregnant/laboring woman prepare and welcome her baby into the world.

I am here to support you in YOUR birth of choice! I support all types of birthing.

Postpartum; I am able to help answer any breastfeeding questions or concerns. I will also be able to answer general questions about your newborn, babywearing & cloth diapering questions.

*My bereavement/loss services are purely volunteer. If you are aware of someone who needs a bereavement doula ( this includes miscarriage at all stages including stillbirth or a sick baby in the NICU) please pass my information along. For this situation I’m available 24 hrs a day to answer calls.*

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES

« ‹ 14 of 16 › »

She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.

— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

— C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am strong.

— January, founder of Birth Without Fear

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

— John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite.

— Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
