...Seamlessly guiding you through pregnancy, birth & into parenthood
​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. I believe an educated birth is an empowered birth. 
When we know better we do better!
