Open Hands. Informed Choices. Empowered Birth.
Professionally trained Birth Doula supporting families in Richmond, Virginia.
How I Support You
Every family and every birth is different. My role as a birth doula isn’t to tell you what to choose, but to walk alongside you as you navigate pregnancy and birth. I offer steady support, thoughtful guidance, and space to make decisions that feel informed and aligned with you.
Support begins with a complimentary connection call so we can get to know each other and make sure working together feels like a good fit.
Throughout pregnancy, I offer support that may include:
Prenatal visits centered on your values, questions, and hopes for birth
Ongoing support via text as questions or emotions come up
Guidance as you explore birth preferences and options
Thoughtful community resource recommendations
Access to a growing lending library to support your learning
As you approach your due date, I am on call beginning two weeks before, offering continuous, in-person support throughout labor and birth. During this time, I provide:
Physical comfort measures and grounding techniques
Emotional reassurance and a calm, steady presence
Support navigating informed consent and decision-making
Encouragement and guidance for partners
Continued support in the early hours after birth
After your baby arrives, support doesn’t end. A postpartum check-in offers space to reflect, process your experience, and gently transition into this new chapter.
I hold space not only for the work of birth, but for everything that comes after. The first time you step out with your baby, the “we made it” moments of the fourth trimester, the first birthday pictures, and the memories that stay with you for a lifetime.
Whether your birth unfolds exactly as planned or takes unexpected turns, my hope is that you feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.
Serving families in Richmond, Virginia and the surrounding area.
Schedule a Free Connection Call
Finding the right birth support is deeply personal.
A connection call is a chance for us to connect, talk through what you’re hoping for, and see if working together feels like a good fit. No pressure, no obligation.
This is simply a space to ask questions, share what’s on your heart, and get a sense of how I support families through pregnancy and birth.
