An Educated Birth is an Empowered Birth. 
​When We Know Better We Do Better.
~Brenlie ​
​A woman will remember her sacred journey into motherhood all her life. Throughout human history women have always been cared for and nurtured by other women while giving birth.  As a doula I am dedicated to making a woman feel prepared, safe, nurtured and supported to give birth in her own best way.
