Birth Doula Services
Hi there !
I am a certified Mama Bamba doula and I am a non-medical professional who provides information, guidance, physical comfort and emotional support throughout your pregnancy, labor and birth as well as postpartum.
Being a doula is a calling and I am beyond grateful for every sacred space I can be present at. A birthing experience is truly amazing. A time when a woman’s body is allowed to become a vessel for forces infinitely greater than herself.When a mother has given birth she should be celebrated like the goddess she is.
My Birth Philosophy
Birth is a truly miraculous event and as a doula I bear witness to a variety of different and unique births. Our bodies are made for this beautiful natural process and this is truly a privilege to be a part of. I can help you, listen to you and give you a safe empowering space while supporting you through pregnancy, birth and beyond. My desire as your doula is to support you in such a way that allows you to have an empowering and positive birth experience. Allow me to bring calmness and peacefulness to your sacred birth space.

Free consultation
Our journey begins when we get together for a cup of coffee. This is were we chat and get to know each other, to see if we are a good fit. This is an obligation free consultation which means if we don’t connect, there is no worries ! Hiring a doula is a big decision and I encourage you to hire someone you connect with.
