Birth Doula Services
What is a Birth Doula?
A birth doula works with families during pregnancy, labor and in the birth process, as well as immediately postpartum, offering support, encouragement, information, comfort, and referrals as needed.
I support 1 birth per month, and I serve King County.
Birth is miraculous! The pregnancy/labor/birth journey is wonderful… and indeed challenging. Having compassionate, knowledgable support can make a huge difference in feeling satisfied with your birth experience, feeling heard and having as much of your birth vision happen as possible.
That’s where I come in! My years of coaching, meditation, bodywork and birth doula work enable me to offer my clients a grounded, knowledgable, empathic, safe and nurturing presence. I empower my clients to advocate for themselves—ask for what they need—and I also offer suggestions to help my clients better cope and move baby down!
I work with a culturally and spiritually diverse clientele. I’m a mom of adult children and had 3 midwife-assisted unmedicated hospital births.
It’s a joyous honor serving and supporting my clients as they bring precious new life into the world and begin their parenting journey!

Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage
Massage during pregnancy is side-lying with pillow bolsters. I target your areas of tension and soreness leaving you more comfortable and relaxed!
Postpartum massage is also side-lying until you are ready to lay on your chest and belly. Massage supports your postpartum recovery.
Massage is a wonderful way to take care of yourself and your baby!
