Illuminated Birth
I offer compassionate, knowledgeable, and loving support through Birth Doula Services, Prenatal Massage, Postnatal Massage, Retreats, and more.
What is a Birth Doula?
A birth doula works with families during pregnancy, labor and in the birth process, as well as immediately postpartum. I offer support, encouragement, information, comfort, and referrals as needed. I support one birth per month throughout King Count. See more info below, or begin right now by scheduling a free consultation.
We Were Born For More
Birth is miraculous! And so are you.
The pregnancy, labor, and birth journey is wonderful—and indeed challenging. When you have compassionate, knowledgable support, it 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, such as 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!
