I believe that Better Beginnings happen for parents-to-be and their babies when they develop a relationship with the doula before labor. Doula-client relationships flourish with openness, trust, and familiarity before birth. I specialize in births that are considered high risk. In all my work I infuse the goal of evidence-based care. As a doula, I enter your birthing space knowing what's in your heart and mind for your birth.
