This is YOUR experience!

Nothing that I believe should have any bearing on how you want to go about laboring and birthing. It is not my job as a doula to tell you how to birth or not to birth. I am there to support you in whatever way you decide.

I am open to any birthing options–

• Natural home birth
• Unmedicated hospital birth
• Medicated hospital birth
• Cesarean section (though many hospitals only allow one support person in the operating room)
• Unassisted home birth
• Vaginal birth after cesarean, either at home or hospital
• Birthing Centers

The list goes on and on. Essentially, at your introduction and prenatal appointments, I will do what I can to inform you of your options, we will discuss exactly how you want your birthing experience to transpire, and I will do everything in my power to support and empower you to have the birth that you want.

I believe that birth is an amazing, natural thing that our bodies know exactly how to handle, but I also believe that medical technology has given women numerous choices.

I encourage every woman to know all of her options and to research each aspect of her pregnancy and birth as much as she can, though I understand that for some, placing the process in the hands of a professional is much more comfortable.

Whatever your choice, know that as your doula, I will stand by your side until your baby is resting peacefully in your arms.
