A doula is a childbirth trained professional that provides emotional, mental, and physical support during pregnancy, labor/birth, and postpartum.

Using a doula can benefit anyone pregnant or newly postpartum. This means that you don’t have to be high-risk or low-risk. Doula services can be used for both ends of the spectrum and everything in between.

As early as possible! My schedule books up pretty quickly, as I am limited in the number of clients I can support each month. Plus, the earlier you book me… the more time that we have to get to know one another.

Statistics show that using a doula can help reduce medical interventions, such as: c-section rates, length of time in labor, use of pitocin, and the request for an epidural.

Families with singletons or twins, recovering from vaginal or cesarean, anyone navigating sleep challenges- reflux, colic, etc.

Yes! I am certified in both adult and infant CPR.

I provide hands-on support while you get healing rest. This includes feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and getting baby back to sleep.

I have completed several trainings including: PLD birth doula, VBAC Link, Stillbirthday, and Eternal Postpartum.

Yes! A midwife is a medical professional. A doula is a support person. As your doula, I will be by your side continuously, focused on physical, mental, and emotional support. Your midwife’s primary focus will be on your medical care.

I am located in St. Louis, MO and will travel up to an hour any direction, distance surcharge may apply.

The short answer is, when you’re in active labor. But really, it is whenever you are feeling like you need that extra support; whether you are still at home or if you’ve made your way to your birthing location.

You can still benefit from using a doula! In most cases, I will be able to accompany you to the operating room. This means that you will still have emotional and mental support during the c-section. And I will be there after the birth to provide support.
