The inspiration for my work as a Holistic Perinatal Consultant, Coach, and Doula is that I believe that birth is a natural, normal function of the pregnant person’s body. I believe that over the years we have been taught not to trust our bodies and the innate ability woman have to give birth naturally. I believe that with the right mindset, complete preparation, and full genuine support, giving birth can be a joyful and life-changing experience. It's when we own our birth and take responsibility for our needs and desires, we can have full autonomy of our bodies, our births, and our experience. We become our own advocates. Giving birth can bring to the surface a power that had been hidden so deep and truly is a reflection of how resilient and strong we really are.

My passion is in encouraging parents to tap into their fears and bring them to the surface so that they can replace those images and thoughts with positive and evidence-based information. My approach to care is very holistic, as I strongly encourage the people I work with to adjust some aspects of their lives as they prepare to give birth and begin their new roles. Because I have seen the way unnecessary interventions can greatly interfere with this intuitive, normal, and natural process, I have chosen to focus on working with people who are interested in making informed choices and are willing to take responsibility for themselves in preparation for and during the birth. I want to work with those who believe or at least want to believe, in their very own power to give birth and be interested in learning more about this rite of passage.















 

The focus of my doula practice has shifted towards Birthing Bravely: Birth Preparation Coaching program that allows pregnant people and their partners to have access to my most essential resources, local referrals (CT residents),  comfort measures, childbirth education, all while having a more comprehensive educational and coaching relationship with me either virtually or in-person. 

After working with me, you will have the confidence to do anything you set your mind to and start your parenting journey off strong.

​

Many partners want to be the main support during the birth and just need the guidance and education to feel more prepared to help the birthgiver navigate the journey. When a partner knows that their role is that of the advocate to the birthgiver and baby, they feel more confident in standing up to unnecessary intervention and birth trauma. Then they have me in their pocket or next to them during their birth to get clarity on what comes up. 

Great for hospitals births or freebirths! 

With my Doula Services, I offer either virtual or in-person support during pregnancy, labor, and I'm with you all throughout active labor and your birth guiding your partner to best support you. Then I'm with you for 40 days postpartum to get support, ideas, referrals, and a non-judgmental ear.

As your birth coach and doula, I trust your innate ability to birth. I believe in you and I want you to believe in yourself. 

Inquire with me today so I can help you make some mindset shifts to have a better birth experience.
