Back-up Doula Care

Back-up doula support in case of emergency or in the unlikely event I am unable to get to you when labor starts is provided by Becca DeMartini. You can check her out at www.loveinlabor.com.
I am a member of the Doula Care Collective which is a group of amazing doulas and midwives who support each other while building community. we arrange monthly gatherings for all new/current/past doula families to come meet the back-ups as well as get to know other local families.

As a doula, I do not:

Perform clinical tasks, such as taking blood pressure, fetal heart checks, or vaginal exams. I am there to provide non-medical physical comfort and emotional support.
Make decisions for you. I will help you obtain the information necessary to make an informed choice. I will also remind you if there is a departure from your birth preferences.
