What is a Doula?
The word, "doula," comes from the Greek word for the most important female servant in an ancient Greek household: the woman who assisted the lady of the house through her childbearing. Today, doula refers to a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, spiritual, and informational support to the mother (and partner) before, during, and after childbirth.
A doula believes in Mothering the Mother: enabling a woman to have the most satisfying and empowered time she can through this important journey.

Why Choose Me?
Great question!
I am a proud certified Maternal Support Practitioner working with the wonderful village at BeboMia. Ever since I was a toddler, my passion in life was with children. As I grew older, my maternal bone guided me to specialize my skills in the younger developmental stages of life. I understand pregnancy is an intimate experience. The safety and comfortability of you and baby are the most important. I want my clients to not only know, but feel, that during this process, your family becomes a part of mine.
