- Pregnancy and Birth Doula
- Initial consultation is free
- I provide a minimum of 2 prenatal visits and 2 postpartum visits

- I speak French well and basic medical Spanish
- Specialty in high risk pregnancies, women over 35, and women with anxieties
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 so that I know what kind of birth you want.
I believe that doula support and services should be available for everyone, no matter what their individual medical, social or economic situation is. Everyone receives individualized care, incorporating the best of evidence-based care and my 13 years of experience.
As your doula I enter your birthing space as part of your team, knowing what's in your heart and mind for the birth of your baby.
