  • It’s best to hire a doula early in your pregnancy to ensure availability and to build a strong relationship with your doula.

    However, I am available to support you at any stage of your pregnancy.

  • Having a doula can lead to shorter labor, fewer complications, reduced need for interventions, and a more positive birth experience. My personalized approach ensures you receive the support and guidance you need throughout your journey.

  • I have successfully completed the “TENS in the Toolbox” training with Sharon Muza, and I am excited to incorporate this remarkable tool into my practice.

    TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation. TENS is used in labor to reduce back pain while allowing the laboring person the freedom to move and walk.

    What are the advantages of TENS? The laboring person controls the TENS unit themselves. They remain clear-headed and can walk and move freely. TENS can be used with other comfort measures and may help to postpone or avoid the use of an epidural. There is no reported harm to the parent or baby as a result of TENS use.

    Are there any risks? A few medical conditions make the TENS unit not a good choice for some people. Talk to your care provider to confirm that the TENS unit is a safe choice for you.

  • Personalized postpartum visits are designed to enhance your experience as a new parent. My services include hands-on assistance with newborn care, dedicated breastfeeding support, and emotional guidance, also doing some chores to provide you calm and happy environment. Together, we will navigate the recovery process and focus on your self-care needs. My priority is to help you and your family feel empowered and secure during this transformative phase.

    Please visit “SERVICES” page for more information.

    Please Note: Daytime visits require a minimum of four hours, while nighttime visits are a minimum of 6 hours, to ensure that you receive comprehensive support and rest.

  • Everyone deserves access to quality doula support, regardless of their financial situation. That's why I offer a sliding-scale pricing model tailored to meet the diverse needs of all clients. Your investment in hiring a doula may be based on your income.

    I, also, constantly volunteer and have promotions, so everyone can get access to a doula care. Just text or call me and I’ll tell you more.
