Support
PRENATAL - BIRTH - POSTPARTUM
Doulas are commonly associated with labor and delivery. The 130 births I attended, I have realized quickly the importance of informational, physical and emotional support for expectant and laboring families and the vital role multifaceted support plays in a family's pregnancy, birth and postpartum story. That is why my practice philosophy puts just as much focus on the prenatal and postpartum period as labor and birth. There is a lot of information out there, and sometimes its overwhelming. I join with families, talk about what is normal and abnormal of pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. We talk about your options, tools and resources for each stage and parents are empowered to make informed decisions during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. My hope is for all families to feel safe, supported and empowered as they transition in to this new stage of life.
My experience of birth is diverse. I have had the honor of attending births at most of our area hospitals, in homes with many of our lovely midwives and at our area's free standing birth centers. This diversity has given me a great appreciation for a high quality model of care and unique understanding of the variations of birth. Each pregnancy, birth and postpartum period I have supported has been an opportunity to learn more about the variables of the childbearing year and how the tools and skills doctors, midwives, nurses and doulas can come together in their own perfect way.

If you are considering hiring a doula for your pregnancy and birth, I highly recommend interviewing 3 doulas. It is very important to find the right doula for you and your family. Not sure where to find other doulas? No worries, I have that covered. We have two wonderful collectives with doulas that cover El Dorado County and the Greater Sacramento Area. These collectives are also a great place to find other birth professionals like; midwives, lactation consultants, birth photographers, chiropractors, massage therapists and more.
