Birth Support-

When your day comes to enter into the labor process, I will be there to aid, serve and support you.  This may be in coaching your companion or offering you the support myself or a combination so that the labor dance can go as smooth as possible.   I will be there to guide you through positions if needed by utilizing a variety of tools such as a rebozo or birth ball.  Counter pressure points, and massage are also available anytime.  Especially when holding tension. Montra's, words of positivity and positive mental imagery can be used as tool to get you to focus your birth energy and not on the pain that may be present. Being full of nutrition and hydration is key during labor and I will make sure you maintain both. A doula's role in labor and delivery is to serve, advocate, support and maintain a proper birth atmosphere. Full of peace and love and void of interruptions.
