As your Birth Doula my greatest desire is to be of service to you. Being of service to others is a life-long practice of mine and it is my intention behind providing this care. Being able to support and witness new life brought into this world is a sacred and special opportunity that I hold with great reverence. It is truly a transformative journey with each birth being beautiful in it's own unique way. It would be a privilege to venture this journey together and provide support to you and your family every step of the way. My approach is to offer gentle guidance to you along the path, offering opportunities for you to discover within, which path is best for you.
I also acknowledge that every person comes with your own set of hopes and desires for birth and I believe that each of us innately holds deep wisdom within. I will actively listen, collaborate and offer non-judgmental care and mentoring so that you feel heard and a sense of trust in our partnership together.

Additional Payment Details: In Minnesota, doulas are not considered medical providers and cannot legally provide diagnostic/procedural codes, and therefore, are not considered “in network” with any insurance companies. We do not work directly with insurance companies, but we are always more than happy to try running Health Savings Account debit cards for payment, in which we most often have success. If cards do not process or if you pay out of pocket and are filing for reimbursement with your insurance company, we can provide an itemized receipt of our services for you to submit.
*If you are interested in financial assistance for services, please email [email protected] for more information
Additional Details
I will provide doula support to you in your birthing place of choice, whether in your home, birthing center or hospital setting. Whether you are planning for a home birth, hospital birth or planned cesarean, I will be there to fully support and nurture you.
Before the Birth
-Prenatal visits are designed to get to know one another, discuss your birth preferences, practice different laboring positions and coping strategies that will support you. Prenatal visits are 1 hour each in length and these visits are held either in your home or virtually.
-Starting at 38 weeks gestation, I will be on-call 24/7 until requested to come support you for the birth.
During the Birth
-I will meet you upon your request when labor has begun and support you with the transition from your home to your birthing location
-I will provide continuous, by-your-side support, offering comfort measures such as massage, counter-pressure techniques, aromatherapy, space-keeping to ensure your safe birthing environment and assistance to your support person. I am also happy to snap photos and/or video of your birth experience on your personal phone
After the Birth
-If desired, I will stay with you up to two hours after the birth to provide continued support.
-I will reach out within the first few days after baby has arrived to check-in and schedule your first postpartum visit. Postpartum visits are 2 hours in length at your home or virtually.
Payment
50% retainer fee due upon signing of contract, per package selected to reserve your due date. The remaining balance is due by the second prenatal visit before the birth. Payment plans are also an option upon request.
