My journey to becoming a birth doula started with the pregnancy of my first son. During that time, I felt ill-equipped and unprepared for childbirth and very apprehensive. With some guidance from my midwife, I took Hypnobirthing training and educated myself on my childbirth choices by developing a birth plan. My husband and I were also accompanied by a knowledgeable friend who acted as our birth doula. As a result, I had a beautiful, peaceful and manageable birth. I felt completely empowered and capable, like I could conquer the world.
All women deserve that same feeling of empowerment, pride and joy. I believe in helping parents learn about their choices and clarifying their desires before labor. Providing a calm, caring and relaxing environment will allow a woman and her partner to discover the beauty and inspiration of birth. I understand that each woman, as well as every birth, is unique and therefore each family’s choices and decisions are to be respected. I delight in pregnant women, birth and babies. It is an honor for me to share in the miraculous delivery of a new life.
I am a DONA (Doulas of North America) certified doula. I have experience with Hypnobirthing and water birth and am willing to work with natural, medicated or Cesarean births.
I live in Hampton Falls, NH with my wonderful husband and two beautiful sons.
