What led you to become a Doula?: My passion for birth work came from the realization that there is a need for personalized support and education in the prenatal and postpartum world. My passion is to not only educate but empower my clients.
What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:
Brooke Irby as my doula was absolutely wonderful. She believed in my ability to have a natural birth without the use of pain medications or an epidural. She was very supportive and was there with me throughout my entire birth. She encouraged me to walk and use the birthing ball as a method to try to get labor moving along. when the possibility of having to use an epidural came up because we believed my son was stuck, she supported all of our decisions. luckily the need for an epidural was eliminated and I gave a 100% natural birth. I would highly recommend her as a doula and as a Support System throughout your birth. She was absolutely amazing for my family and me.
