Book Review | The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth
Join me for the first book review! I’ll be going over Henci Goer’s The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth and how this book, published in 1999, is still relevant today! A great tool for foundational knowledge when preparing for a birth, especially an in-hospital birth.
What is a Doula Series Wrap-Up
Our time with the “What is a Doula Series” is coming to a close.
Here, I would like to offer you a little summary of the topics that contribute to how a doula encourages parents to feel “Capable of Anything,” when it comes to birth and immediately postpartum
Your doula is a touchstone and guide throughout the birth process. We meet you where you are. Provide the tools you need to make your own informed decisions. Support those decisions, and help hold space for you and your birth. Providing continuity of care from pregnancy through to immediately after birth. We stand, squat, dance, sit with you, providing continuous, uninterrupted and nonjudgmental support.
Partners & Doulas | A Perfect Team?
Doulas Help Partners Too???
Birth is more than just baby. The experience of the birthing person and their partner matter just as much!
There is reassurance that everything is okay based on your doula’s knowledge.
Confidence in the process as well as with each other moving through the rhythms of labor with your doula to ground and guide.
Here I debunk the assumption that a doula replaces the partner in the birthing space.
Join in as I share just how important partners are as well as how they can work together for a great birth experience with a doula.

Art & Birth Work
Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Unable to fully leave it to the side. I wanted to find a way to use that creativity in relation to my desire to continue pursuing birth work as a life path. Birth Matters as well as Art, and I want to combine them in a meaningful way. Here I share how I have begun to do just that.
