For years, I’d heard friends talk about their wonderful experiences with natural birth and about how much they benefitted from having a doula alongside them. So, when I found out that I was pregnant with my son in 2018, I knew that I wanted a natural birth with a doula. When the time came for him to be born, I had created what I considered the perfect birth plan, and I was eager to put it into action. However, my labor did not progress the way I’d hoped, and it became much longer and more involved than I had anticipated. That my husband and I were able to maintain feelings of calm and control throughout the entire process is due in large part to the work of our amazing doula. She provided constant support from start to finish, throughout multiple shift changes of the doctors, midwives and nurses.

I’m a doula today in part because of my own experience of having a doula-assisted birth. I’ve also found it to be the perfect melding of my passion for holistic health, my desire to serve others, and my immense wonder and appreciation for the process of bringing a new person into the world. My primary goals as a doula are that each parent with whom I work would be empowered to make the best, informed decisions for their growing family and that they would feel supported throughout each step of the journey to meeting their baby. Each birth truly is beautiful and unique, and I am both humbled and awed at every opportunity to witness the miracle of a new life.
