I am a DONA certified labor support doula. I provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to women and their partners during labor and delivery. I am a constant companion during the birth, assisting couples with comfort measures and relaxation techniques and providing them with information to help them make informed choices regarding their care and the care of their baby.
I will meet with couples before the birth of the baby to help us get better acquainted, and help devise a birth plan, or offer childbirth preparation classes if they have not taken a series, or need a refresher class.
