Especially in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I am honored to continue to provide live online childbirth classes, doula training, childbirth educator training, in-person labor support at home, hospital or birthing center and virtual support for in-hospital births where the number of visitors is limited. 

You and your partner should both be prepared for your labor.
You deserve support during your labor.
Your baby should stay with you after birth.
You need not be alone. 
Please call or email to discuss your rights and options.

Put my expertise to work for you. Let's plan the birth of your dreams!
"Birth is not only about making babies.
Birth is about making mothers -
strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their strength."
Barbara Katz Rothman

Pregnancy and birth are a time of tremendous change, of transformation, of redefining ourselves and our relationships. We are changed by the coming of our children, in ways we cannot begin to anticipate. It is my heart's desire to help you navigate the changes that are happening to you and to help you make the transition into motherhood or mother-again-hood.

Our first consultation is always free. I would be delighted to speak with you about your plans!

You'll find here on the site reading recommendations, resources for your preparations, and sources for support for your specific situation. There are birth stories to be enjoyed and baby pictures to make you swoon. And in the Lagniappe tab, lovely birth stories and more with my guests on our local radio show,
Whole Mother.

Couples will:
  • Become informed about options for your birth, whatever your birth place: home, hospital or birth center
  • Obtain language and information that will help you communicate more effectively with one another and birth professionals 
  • Explore techniques for improving your connection and learn why this is so important for birthing women
  • Develop tactics for navigating routine policies at your birth place
Moms will:
  • Learn what it is like to be IN labor
  • Prepare and practice options for coping with the work of labor
Dads will:
  • Learn what it is like to be AT labor
  • Become familiar with the jargon of birth (Did you know Dad is three months less pregnant than Mom? Read more about that here.)
  • Develop skills for offering effective, personalized labor support, whatever his participation comfort level
Relax and enjoy your pregnancy and labor, knowing that with your doula you:
  • Receive guidance as you prepare for your birth, for both logistical and emotional preparations
  • Access support and practical, personalized ideas for coping as you navigate the emotions of pregnancy and labor
  • Gain early labor support, guidance through the sometimes lengthy process of waiting for labor to begin
  • Have in-home labor support, until it is time to move to your birth place, if you are birthing outside your home
  • Secure experienced assistance in navigating hospital policies, if you are birthing in a hospital, to help you achieve the birth you desire
  • Have made arrangements for your partner to be supported in enjoying labor too! He gets to relax and enjoy the coming of your baby, well-supported and guided in ways to care for himself and you.
