Birth is about so much more than progress and outcomes. It’s about your experience. Your birth journey stays with you for the rest of your life. How you feel when you look back on it depends on whether you felt seen and supported through it. I believe every mom deserves to feel empowered and respected, with her needs at the centre of the whole process. As a doula, my goal is to give you the tools to advocate for yourself, and the comfort of knowing you are not alone.
​
I know what it feels like to go through a tough birth journey. I was very anxious during my pregnancy because I didn’t trust my body. This means I felt a lot of fear when going into labour. My birth was difficult, and I loved having both my husband and my doula with me. They both had different ways of supporting me through it and it was truly a comfort to me to have them there. My doula created a sacred space, a safe bubble so my husband and I could focus on connecting with each other in the moment.
​
This sacred space is what I want to give you, because I understand how easy it is to doubt yourself. I know from personal experience that empathy and presence can help turn a scary experience into a beautiful one. Birth is so exciting, even when it doesn’t go the way we expect. I want to help you stay grounded and feel secure at every stage of your journey. And I want to give you the resources that will help you trust your body and the amazing things it is designed to do. If this sounds good to you and you’d like to learn more about what I offer, feel free to reach out. It would be a privilege to support you.
