A doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and educational support before, during, and after birth. During labor, I help you feel safe, informed, and heard — whether you’re birthing at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital. After baby arrives, postpartum care focuses on rest, feeding, recovery, and emotional wellbeing for the whole family.

Gentle newborn care focuses on understanding your baby’s cues, natural rhythms, and developmental needs — not rigid schedules. Through soothing techniques, sleep environment setup, and realistic expectations, I help families find peaceful rhythms that protect both baby’s attachment and your rest.

Yes. VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) clients receive specialized support around informed decision-making, positioning, and emotional preparation. We’ll discuss evidence-based safety, create a supportive birth plan, and explore comfort techniques to help your body and mind feel ready. My goal is to help you feel confident, safe, and deeply supported — whichever path your birth takes.

I offer in-person and virtual support across West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. — including Morgantown, Bridgeport, Fairmont, Cheat Lake, and Pittsburgh. Whether you’re preparing for birth or navigating newborn sleep, you can receive care from wherever you are.

Absolutely. Many families prefer continuous care from pregnancy through the fourth trimester. We’ll build a plan that covers your birth preferences, recovery support, feeding guidance, and early sleep rhythms — all tailored to your unique needs and pace.

Start by scheduling a complimentary consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, timeline, and what kind of care will serve you best. You can reach out anytime through my contact page to begin.

This is more common than not — and it’s where doula support often matters most. I support families through changes with calm presence, clear communication, and emotional steadiness. Whether plans shift medically, emotionally, or logistically, my role is to help you feel grounded, informed, and supported — not overwhelmed or alone.

No — my role is not to make decisions for you, but to help you understand your options clearly. I offer evidence-informed education, explain choices in plain language, and support you in making decisions that feel aligned with your values, intuition, and circumstances. You will never be rushed, pressured, or judged.

Emotional safety is foundational to my work. I pay close attention to tone, pacing, and how information is shared — especially during vulnerable moments. Support may look like quiet reassurance, advocacy, grounding techniques, or simply holding space without needing to fix anything. You are allowed to feel what you feel here.

Birth documentation is offered as a gentle keepsake alongside doula care. When appropriate, I capture candid, meaningful moments throughout labor, birth, and the immediate postpartum period—focusing on connection, atmosphere, and the emotional texture of the experience.

My primary role is always to provide hands-on support, emotional presence, and steady guidance. Documentation is woven in thoughtfully and never takes priority over your care. Images are organic and reflective of the moment, rather than posed or staged, and are shared as a curated digital gallery after birth.
