Doula Support Services



 Each woman brings to her pregnancy and birth her own set of specific needs, desires, and life experiences.  As a Doula, my role is to support these choices fully and non-judgmentally.

As a Doula I  provide you with relevant and timely information that allow you and your family to make positive birth choices and decisions...

The optimum time to begin preparation and education would be in your 5th-6th month of pregnancy...
This enables us to connect and set a plan of birth that will be both ecstatic and unique...
If later than this please do still call as my desire is to empower you in your birth and allow you the ecstatic birth you deserve. 
It's never to late

     

All Doula support sessions are offered individually in your own home.

Birth is different for each person who experiences it, each time.  
As a Doula my role is to help woman and their families to find their own voices, to speak up for themselves, to live the experience and give birth themselves without being delivered.  

** I serve Mother's and Families in the Oregon, Portland Metro and outer surrounding areas including Vancouver, Washington and surrounding Washington areas...
