Joyful Doula Care


I believe that YOU know what is best for you and your family. I will support families birthing at the hospital or at home, with or without medication and/or medical solutions. I can’t predict or guarantee any outcomes, but I do know that during your birth, I will support your choices without judgment to optimize your positive birthing experience.
I also believe in providing affordable doula care for all families and I am passionate about working with low-income mothers and teens. For this reason, I offer a sliding-scale in regards to payment. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the costs of my birth and/or postpartum services.
