I am a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, serving the Hampton Roads area of Virginia since 2004. As a mother of four, my own births have taught me that a positive birth experience can be life-changing in a wonderful way, revealing to a woman her great inner strength and the wonder of her body’s ability to birth and nurture her child. As a doula, I endeavor to instill confidence in the woman and her partner, empowering them to grow to trust their unique birthing and parenting abilities, insuring the best start for everyone at home.

As a mother of three, aspiring midwife, and passionate birth advocate, I will do everything I can to ensure you have a satisfying, fulfilling, and empowering birth experience. The more we believe our bodies work, the better our births will be. The better our birth experiences, the better we feel, the better parents we become, and we raise happier, healthier children. Birth works! When women are supported in their births, everyone benefits!

Hi, I am new to the Tidewater area, but I am eager to begin offering my services!
I love to accompany women in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. I will draw on my knowledge and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort and the information you need to make informed decisions as they arise in labor. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your partner, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, massage, positioning and other techniques for comfort.
