Frequently Asked Questions

  • Where a lot of the birth education out there teaches you about how to give birth, I believe in supporting both parents holistically before, during and after. I also take a coaching style rather than just teaching content, making space for reflection and exploration, empowering parents in their own learning and relationship.

    Anything I do is about preparing you both to thrive birth and post-partum. I care for your body, mind, spirit, relationship with each other, your village, and your baby. I will guide you about your rights, how to advocate for yourself, overcoming challenges and thriving during this transformation.

    My recourses and courses are being developed along with professional collaborators to bring you expansive, evidence based education and nurturing support.

  • My prices can be found in the Doula Packages page. They vary depending on the package and any additional support, adaptations or services you would like. Doula prices depend on experience, expertise, location, additional support and whether the doula is mentored.
