As a birth doula, I accompany women in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying

birth experience. I have completed training approved by DONA International and have

experience as a mother who has given birth and am gaining experience as a birth doula. I

draw on my professional training, knowledge and experience to provide emotional

support, physical comfort and, as needed, communication with the staff to make sure that

you have the information you need to make informed decisions as they arise in labor. I

can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for

labor progress, and help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques for

comfort.
