Did you know that the word doula comes from the Greek root word δούλος, (doulos)? It means “to serve.”

A doula embodies the gift of being present.  A doula is whatever the moment asks of her.

    • Informed consent, the typical interventions that are used when labor stalls and how to avoid them, and what can be done naturally instead of them

    • I support a woman's physiology. Stress is a healthy physiological response when we are frightened, so it is an important component to how I serve couples to hold space for their fear and stress, to process it out, in order to have a healthy relationship with it during the pregnancy, birth, and parenthood journey

Lower Income Family Discounted Rate

Mother Blessing

$175 *Rate subject to change

Please ask about a private mother blessing event. I love hosting them for my mamas at a small added cost.

  • This event is a celebration of life and love, pregnancy and motherhood, in a tranquil, sacred, and love-filled atmosphere.

  • It has evolved from a traditional Navajo ceremony concerned with healing, creation, harmony, and peace, in appreciation for and in honor of the mother-to-be. 

  • A Mother Blessing helps mama to prepare herself for the birth— emotionally, spiritually and mentally.

  • Together with a small circle of women whom she is closest with, we facilitate an environment where mama feels ‘held’ and “lifted”— to be free so she can embrace what is to come.
