A doula is a childbirth trained professional that provides emotional, mental, and physical support during pregnancy, labor/birth, and postpartum.

Using a doula can benefit anyone pregnant or newly postpartum. This means that you don’t have to be high-risk or low-risk. Doula services can be used for both ends of the spectrum and everything in between.

Yes! A midwife is a medical professional. A doula is a support person. As your doula, I will be by your side continuously, focused on physical, mental, and emotional support. Your midwife’s primary focus will be on your medical care.

Statistics show that using a doula can help reduce medical interventions, such as: c-section rates, length of time in labor, use of pitocin, and the request for an epidural.

As early as possible! My schedule books up pretty quickly, as I do limit myself to 3 births per month. Plus, the earlier you book me… the more time that we have to get to know one another.

The short answer is, when you’re in active labor. But really, it is whenever you are feeling like you need that extra support; whether you are still at home or if you’ve made your way to your birthing location.

Please reach out! My primary goal is to provide support to all mommas and a financial struggle should not prohibit you from receiving that support. I am happy to work with you, based on your needs.

I do provide discounts for military families and I accept HSA.

I am located in St. Louis, MO and will travel up to an hour any direction.

You can still benefit from using a doula! In most cases, I will be able to accompany you to the operating room. This means that you will still have emotional and mental support during the c-section. And I will be there after the birth to provide support.
