As a birth doula my role is to facilitate my client’s wishes for their birth experience whatever they may be.
Whether you choose to birth in a hospital, at home, medicated, unmedicated, planned cesarian and anything in-between, I will support you with no judgement.
I simply want my clients to feel empowered, respected, safe and heard throughout their pregnancy and birthing experience.
I believe birth is a natural, normal function of a woman’s body not a medical emergency or something to be feared. Thankfully we have skilled midwives, doctors and nurses for the times when medical intervention becomes necessary (or when medicated pain relief is desired), but a normal low risk birth is not a medical event and needn’t be treated as such.
Hiring a postpartum doula is the perfect way to plan for a gentle fourth trimester. As a certified postpartum doula and breastfeeding counselor I offer a variety of in-home support to parents (adoptive or birth).
Every birth is unique and every postpartum is different as well. The needs of one family may be entirely opposite to the needs of another. That is why my postpartum toolkit is diverse and flexible. You choose when you need me, for how long and what you’d like me to help with.
I also have a range of seasonal foods promoting rejuvenation and health during the postpartum period available for delivery within the St. Louis area.
If you are interested in hiring me as a doula, gifting my services or nourishment packages, or just wondering what a doula does, please get in-touch. I’d love to chat.
*I am honoured to support all new parents; gestational, adoptive, LGBQTIA, everyone.
