Working with me means having a calm, compassionate presence by your side as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. You’ll be supported in exploring your options, making informed decisions, and feeling confident in the path you choose. I create a space where your voice is heard, your preferences are respected, and your emotions are fully supported—so you can move through your experience feeling empowered, prepared, and never alone.

Discounts available for Birth & Postpartum Doula Service

​​

I truly believe, deep in my heart, that my doula services should remain accessible to the central Ohio families who need and value this kind of support. At the same time, I hold the responsibility of ensuring my work can sustainably support my own family.

​

With both of those commitments in mind, I’ve thoughtfully set my pricing to reflect a balance between accessibility and sustainability. I also understand that every family’s circumstances are unique, so I’ve created a variety of discounts that can be combined in different ways. My hope is to meet you where you are and make it possible for you to receive the care and support you deserve.

Meet the Back-ups

When you hire me, I am fully committed to being by your side for your birth—and the vast majority of the time, I will be there. That said, birth is unpredictable, and on very rare occasions—such as illness, overlapping labors, or if you go into labor outside of our on-call window—I may not be able to attend.

​

If that unlikely situation arises, you will still be in incredibly capable and caring hands. I have trusted, experienced, and certified backup doulas who share my values and approach, and one of them will step in to support you at no additional cost.

​

I’m honored to introduce my backup doulas, Sarah Finisterre and Phoebe Byers. We work closely together and even host quarterly birth plan workshops, giving you the opportunity to meet them ahead of time while also preparing for your birth in a supportive, collaborative space.
