It is my goal to use the most comfortable and effective methods and birthing tools during the the birthing process. I find the birthing ball, Reboza, and gentle hand foot massages help soothe moms during labor. Deep breathing and squatting helps as well. I stay in tune with the mom and follow whatever the families and mothers birth plan wishes. I provide education on women rights during birth, provide a safe and respectful environment during the process, and advocate for infant and mom. I honor the family’s wishes regarding their birthing plan.

Postpartum is a pivotal moment between baby and mother. The two are bonding and feeling the love connection. It is my goal to ensure that moms feel secure, supported, not alone, and trust me as their doula. I provide a place where they can share their concerns, fears, or uncertainties about themself their baby.

As a support to the registered lactation consultant, I will be present for mom and baby during their first feeding and when they are discharged home. I will also be present for post delivery. In addition, I advocate for moms as they ask questions in order to continue the education process for healthy infant development.
