Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making {parents} — strong, competent, capable {parents} who trust themselves and know their inner strength.
— Barbara Katz Rothman
​
I specialize in supporting families who are eager to have an empowered, fulfilling, unmedicated low intervention birth.
As an experienced doula and mother with an educational background in counselling, I offer: calming, loving, and attentive birth support; evidence based information and resources tailored to your needs as you prepare for birth; and advocacy tools to assist you in navigating the medical system and in making informed choices.
