Birth Doula

A birth doula as a trained and experienced labor companion who provides the birthing person, and their partner, continuous emotional support, physical comfort, education and advocacy before, during and just after birth.

     I feel so blessed to be invited into the amazing and sacred space of the birthing time. It is an honor and a privilege. 

     I completed my birth doula training at Enlightened Mama in 2012. I’m certified with DONA International and a registered birth doula with the State of MN.

     My training and experience includes coping measures, breathwork,  visualization, acupressure points/pressure point relief, soft tissue massage and positioning. My role is as an educator and mentor and I will model techniques for birth partners to enable them to feel confident and empowered to participate. I have attended two Spinning Babies workshops and I’m a certified Hypnobirthing Doula.

I now partner for all of my births. This has been an amazing addition to my doula practice allowing this on-call lifestyle to remain sustainable for me and my family while also improving continuity for clients.

My doula partners bring their own style, educational birth backgrounds and life experience into the mix. In partnership we are both equally your doula with both of us conducting pre&postnatal visits and shared oncall schedule with one of us attending your birth.

I’m thrilled to partner with these amazing birthworkers:
