Childbirth Education Classes & Labor Doula Birth Support

Specialties

As a birth professional, I understand the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of women in labor. I lend a calm perspective and reassuring presence. I labor with you at home, assuaging anxiety, easing discomfort, suggesting positioning. I remain with you in labor and am there with my knowledge, my hands and my intuition from beginning to end.

With my engaging series of Bradley Method classes you will develop the skills to birth your baby as nature intended: calmly, safely, joyfully. My classes are chockfull of current evidence-​based information, years of experience as a doula, and my passion. You and your partner will learn hands-​on exercises, comfort measures, relaxation, training as a labor support partner, breastfeeding and more. With this series you are choosing childbirth classes that will prepare you to work in harmony with your body. As I guide you and your partner in trusting the birth process, I nurture in you the confidence that this is what your body was made to do.

My years of supporting women in labor as a doula in just about every setting –hospital birth, home birth, water birth, VBAC– have deepened my understanding and appreciation of the birth process. My own two labors and natural birth were my biggest teachers. Birth is wondrous and one of the most sacred of passages. It is also just something women do. For me, this is a labor of love.

As a licensed acupuncturist, I can enhance the traditional doula role by using acupuncture to encourage the safe and gentle unfolding of thisnatural process. I can help labor progress if it slows, strengthen mother’s energy if it wanes, ease labor pains, and coax baby into the optimal birthing position. If you are considering working with me I invite you to contact me for an initial meeting.
