My philosophy as a doula is simple. I believe that labor support is as individual as the woman who seeks it. Each woman's and partner's needs and desires are varied and it is my goal to help you have as close to your ideal birth as possible. I educate, support and listen with no personal agenda. This is one of the most powerful rites of passage for both the parents and the child. For the woman she is crossing over from maiden to mother in the cycle of womanhood and the child is entering the world outside the protected environment of the uterus. I believe every woman should have the opportunity to birth in the way she desires, if medically possible. I believe in empowering you to make informed choices along the way and in creating a loving and supportive environment for you to birth in. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to give birth. It is my loving intention to guide you in your own personal transformational journey.

I also offer HypnoBirthing® Classes in groups and private sessions.

HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. The concept of HypnoBirthing® is not new, but rather a "rebirth" of the philosophy of birthing as it existed thousands of years ago and as it was recaptured in the work of Dr. Grantly Dick-Read, an English obstetrician, who, in the 1920s, was one of the first to forward the concept of natural birthing. The method teaches you that, in the absence of fear and tension, or special medical circumstances, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment of labor.

You will gain an understanding of how the birthing muscles work in perfect harmony--as they were designed to--when your body is sufficiently relaxed and you trust birth. You will learn how to achieve this kind of relaxation, free of the resistance that fear creates, and you will learn to use your natural birthing instincts for a calm, serene and comfortable birth.
