When you're preparing to have a baby, you can't help but wonder how birth will unfold for you. You want to remember the entire experience: how hard you worked, the look on your partner's face, and the incredible reward at the end. Intuitively, you know it's important that each person on your team brings the right energy to the room. Your birth team matters.

A little bit about me... both my kids were born with midwives, one at a birth center and one at home. When I say I understand what kind of birth you want, you should know that I really get it. We live on a small farm where we raise chickens, goats, and grow our own food. I homeschool and cloth diapered both kids!

I do not take it for granted when a family trusts me to guide them through the process of having a baby. I promise to put my full heart into supporting you and your partner through your greatest achievement.

Yes! You can still have doula support at your birth during covid-19. I attend all birth center and home births. Portland area hospitals are allowing doulas with proof of certification.
