I started Embracing Birth after having my oldest daughter. While in the delivery room, surrounded by my birth team, I had a moment of realization - everyone deserves to feel as supported and loved as I did in that moment. Regardless of gender, race, or financial ability. Every birthing person deserves the support and encouragement of a doula. This is the heart of my business.
As your Labor Doula, we will work together as a team to make you feel empowered, prepared, and loved throughout your pregnancy and birth. Whether it is medicated or unmedicated, at the hospital or at home, vaginal or by cesarean - I am committed to helping you feel good about yourself and your decisions as you enter a new phase of life and welcome a little one into your world.
