I was born and raised in Chester County, Pennsylvania. My husband and I moved to the Bay Area in Northern California in 2009. I had never heard the term doula before becoming pregnant with my first child. Hiring a Birth Doula was one of the best decisions that my husband and I ever made. It made me want to become one.
As a mother of four, I am passionate about empowering mothers by reminding them of their innate wisdom - that they are the final authority over their bodies - while encouraging and helping to them make informed decisions. The ultimate goal is a positive birth and postpartum experience where the mother feels nurtured, respected and heard. It is very important to have emotional support before, during and after birth, and equally vital to have that extra pair of hands/physical support, as well. My own birth experiences (including 3 miscarriages - one of which was at 20 weeks) combined with the countless familes I have supported make me an excellent doula. I have decades of experience caring for infants and children. My relationships with my clients do not end when the contract concludes.
After twelve years in the Bay Area, I am now back in Pennsylvania. I am currently serving Bucks County and the surrounding areas.
