I provide birth and postpartum doula support, as well as baby led sleep training. I have attended hundreds of births and supported babies for over ten years.

As a certified doula, birth trauma coach, sleep coach, nutrition coach, functional medicine coach and certified master energy medicine practitioner, you may also choose to work with me to release past trauma, rebalance your nervous system, overcome fertility challenges, alleviate fear of childbirth, and address the anxieties of new parenthood.

BIRTH DOULA SUPPORT

I provide you with emotional and physical support before, during and after your birth, as well as give you science-based information, so that you can make informed decisions. I want you to have the best birth possible - and that means that I’ve got your back with all the choices you make.

Birth doula support includes 24/7 text/phone support before and after your birth providing you with a continuity of care throughout pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I offer three prenatal appointments - I believe that science based information reduces fear and uncertainty. The three prenatal appointments include discussing signs leading up to labor, drafting the birth plan, all things postpartum, nutrition and teaching a circuit of labor movements (science based) that take advantage of gravity and create oxytocin. Labor support starts from the time you go into labor and continues throughout the birth whether at home or in the hospital and until initial breastfeeding has been successful and you are wanting time alone with your baby. I take the pressure off your birth partner by including a walkthrough of all the comfort measures and a full circuit of birthing movements with photos and written description (just in case they forget!) and provide the comfort of being able to let you know when it’s time to go to the hospital or to call the midwife. I support your birth in whatever form that may take, whether unmedicated or medicated. I visit your home after the birth and educate you regarding breastfeeding, nutrition, sleep scheduling and more. My birth clients receive virtual baby sleep training/coaching as part of the birth support package.

POSTPARTUM SUPPORT

Whether virtually or in person as your day or night doula, I will support you postpartum, and together we will create a soft landing into parenthood. My approach involves always listening to your baby, respecting your way of parenting and following your baby’s cues. I will work with you to not only answer all questions “baby”, but take care of you - with science based information about nutrition, parenting techniques, preparation of siblings in their new role in the larger family dynamic, breastfeeding education, baby development and more. I will help you create a sleep schedule that ensures your baby and you are well-fed and well-rested. The sleep schedule is specifically created to help your baby sleep for longer and longer periods at night, until they are sleeping through the night.

BABY LED SLEEP COACHING & TRAINING

I provide sleep coaching and sleep training that responds to your baby’s needs 100% of the time - that means feeding on demand, and creating a developmentally appropriate sleep schedule that ensures your baby is well-fed and well-rested. We will work together to encourage your baby’s physical and mental growth as well as their development of trust that their needs are fully met. My approach follows a neuroscience-based process that allows you to nurture your baby’s mental and physical well-being. When we work together, I provide 24/7 support and am a dedicated partner.
