Specialties
I feel very strongly that birth is a private, intimate time during a couples life. By empowering parents to ask questions and gather information prior to birth, they can make choices that are right for them and their baby. All births are different and should be a reflection of who you are as a person. Some people want epidurals while others are hoping for a natural birth. No matter your hopes are, I will be there to support you and your partner with physical, emotional and information support as you go through your journey. How I support you will be as unique as you are, as everybody has their own ideas of what this very special time looks like.
For those who are interested I also provide placenta encapsulation services. I am happy to provide with capsules, prints, tincture and or cream. One of the biggest benefits encapsulation is increased energy. Placenta encapsulation is an easy, safe, natural way of supporting mom during the postpartum period and beyond..

Meet the Business Owner
Lori S.
Business Owner
My name is Lori Dent. I am a mother of 4 and the grandmother of four. I have been working as a birth doula for the past 6 years. I have attended approximately one hundred births during this time. Prior to this, I worked as a medical assistant; 3 years in urgent care and 8 years in OB-GYN. In 2006 I became the office manager for OB-GYN Associates of Santa Cruz. It was during my stent as an office manager that I was introduced to doula work. I received my training through various educational institutions, but nothing compared with the hands on training and insight I received from the midwifes who encouraged me to become a doula. Since that time I have received my certification as a birth doula through DONA International, and a certified placenta encapsulation specialist through PBi.
