Birth Support
Giving birth is a big deal, no matter where or how you do it! A doula can help you and your support partner go into birth with confidence, and enter parenthood with the resources you need.
Note as of 2024: I am not currently accepting new birth doula clients. Please contact me with general doula questions or for a list of local doulas.
