  “We have a secret in our
culture… it’s not that
birth is painful… it’s that
women are strong.”

- Laura Stravoe Harm




Philosophy

I have confidence in the capabilities of a mother's body. I know every woman knows her body best, just as she knows her baby best. It is my desire to support the mother and her partner as they embark on this new path to parenthood.

As a birth doula, I offer my services to ensure the expectant family arrives at decisions they feel comfortable with; my primary desire is to mother the mother and aid in supporting the birth partner.

It is important to note that as a birth doula I do not impose my own experiences and feelings onto my clients -- I am here to offer non-judgemental support, with no bias or motivation except to help you have the birth experience you desire, no matter what that entails.
