Bringing a baby into this world is a transformative experience. No matter how it happens, it can be powerful, intimidating, spiritual, heartbreaking or healing… sometimes all at the same time. I love to support families in these moments.
As a doula, I listen to your desires and connect you with resources and information. Armed with options, you can make choices that feel best for you and your family. Together, we can outline a birth and/or postpartum care plan. My goal is for you to have a positive birth experience, in whatever form that takes for you.
I can capture the mood and amazing highs of these first few moments of new life with photo and video, to help you hold onto these precious memories forever or share them with friends and family. These points in time pass entirely too quickly - they’re worth remembering!
Quietly and efficiently, I use the same equipment to take both photos and videos to keep your birth space or home free of clutter. It is my goal to be unobtrusive, to chronicle your precious moments as they happen. I will remain as unseen and unheard, unless you say otherwise.
It's my personal belief that birth should continue moving from the secretive, private realm to a place where we share these stories more openly, allowing families a greater awareness of their options, and empowering a more parent-centered birthing experience. But if that’s not your perspective, that’s also safe with me. Unconditionally, I offer support in only the ways you need.
