What brought me to this work?

For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to mothers and newborns. In school, you'd find me in the teachers' lounge, talking to the teacher who had just become a mom. Back home, I spent one afternoon a week with the mothers in my town and their babies, just being there, holding, listening, and helping however I could.

I didn't know there was a name for it. When I found out that being a doula is an actual profession, it felt like seeing a rainbow after a rainy day. Peaceful, meant to be.

I then studied Psychology first and have practiced Reiki for over ten years, and both shaped how I show up. I stay calm and grounded, I pay attention to what your body is telling you, and I trust you to know what you need. Today I sit beside families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum days.

What I do as a doula:

  • Give steady emotional support to you and your partner

  • Offer comfort measures and help with position changes

  • Help you understand your options, so you can make your own decisions

  • Keep you and your support person hydrated, fed, and rested

  • Support you through any kind of birth, including an epidural or a C-section

  • Help you find your feet after the baby arrives, with practical help and regular check-ins

What I don’t do as a doula:

  • I don't provide medical care or replace your doctor or midwife

  • I don't diagnose, prescribe, or give medical advice

  • I don't perform clinical tasks, such as vaginal exams or monitoring the baby's heartbeat

  • I don't make decisions for you, and I don't speak for you with your care team. I help you feel ready to speak for yourself

  • I don’t replace a nanny or caregiver

What is it like to work with me?

  • Before your baby arrives, we'll meet 3 times, in the comfort of your own home, to get you ready for birth in whatever way it unfolds. We'll talk through:

    • Interventions, both medical and holistic, so you know your options

    • Comfort measures you can use in labour

    • Position changes that can help

    • The role of your support partner, so they know how to help

    • What to expect if you have a C-section

    • What to expect if you choose an epidural

    • How to swaddle, change a diaper, bathe and burp a baby

  • From 38 weeks until your baby is born, I'm on call for you. As soon as you call me, I'll be at your side. During labour, I'll:

    • Check in on you and your support person

    • Help with position changes

    • Offer counter-pressure and hip squeezes

    • Make sure you're drinking water and eating

    I don't make decisions for you. I help you feel informed, heard, and held.

  • Once your baby is here, I'll come to you and help in the ways that matter most that day. That might look like:

    • Tidying the kitchen and sweeping

    • Taking care of laundry

    • Heating up food for you

    • Per request you are able to add Reiki to the care services if you wish, for you and your baby

    Some days may look like more chatting and a listening ear. Other days you might want to shower, nap, or get some work done while I hold the space. You lead, and I follow.

    Beyond our visits, I'll check in weekly at first, then depending on your care package, also monthly.

Explore my packages

  • Yes. Partners often say a doula helps them feel more confident and able to support you. One of partners I last supported mentioned that having a doula was the best investment they could have made for their birth experience.

  • No, as doulas our job is non-judgemental and dedicated to assisting with resources for the type of birth you would like to have.

  • No. A midwife provides medical care, and a doula provides emotional, physical, and practical support.

    And I would definitely recommend having both present at your birth.
