Absolutely not! I am happy to support whatever pain control method you choose. This can include hydrotherapy, use of a TENS unit, an epidural, nitrous, massage, and so much more!

If you get an epidural, positioning and education are the main focus. I want your birth to go as smoothly as possible!

I take pride in my unique approach to support during birth. Some doulas focus on emotional support while others focus on exercise during pregnancy. I refer to myself as a “read the room” doula. I adapt to what you need. I remain open-minded and ready for whatever is needed at the time and I am happy to pivot if appropriate. You know your needs best, so I am here to support you however possible.

While I completely support your right to birth however is best for you, I do not attend free births. I am happy to refer you to doulas in the area that do attend free births!

I offer a 15% discount to homebirth clients. I plan to start training to become a midwife very soon and homebirths provide an opportunity for me to strengthen my skills in that setting.

If you have budget restrictions and need a custom payment arrangement, please let me know and I can see if that can be accommodated.

At this time, I provide support at all local hospitals with the exception of Fort Sanders except for repeat clients and very specific circumstances. Please inquire if you are a patient at Fort Sanders and I will make a decision on a case by case basis.
