Birth Doula Support
As a Birth Doula, my primary mission is to empower individuals during the transformative journey of childbirth. I am dedicated to providing non-judgmental support, respecting your choices, and equipping you with evidence-based information to make informed decisions. I recognize that every birth is a unique experience, and my unwavering commitment is to facilitate a smoother transition into parenthood. I empower mothers to feel confidence and a profound sense of capability throughout this life-changing process.
I have successfully completed a certification course from DONA International, a well-known organization in the field of childbirth support. My experience includes actively participating in over 100 births, where I have consistently demonstrated my expertise in providing effective emotional and physical support. This support has been invaluable to birthing parents themselves, and the positive impact of a doula's presence at birth has also been acknowledged by medical birth professionals.
My approach to childbirth support is centered on creating an environment of trust and mediation. I ensure that all parties involved, including both parents, midwives, nurses, obstetricians, anesthesiologists, photographers, and the entire support team, can collaborate harmoniously. This collaborative effort aims to achieve optimal results for the physical and emotional well-being of both the new mother and her precious newborn during the birth process.
As a CD(DONA) certified practitioner, I am committed to inclusivity and work with a diverse range of families. I provide support to mothers who may have undergone fertility treatments, including IVF and IUI, as well as single moms and LGBTQ+ families. I deeply respect your choices for childbirth, whether it's a C-section, medical induction, natural hospital birth, vaginal delivery, medicated birth with the use of anesthesia and epidural, or a free home birth or birth at a birth center. My role is to assist you in finding your path to your ideal delivery for your baby.
I offer my doula services in the Virginia, Maryland, and DC areas, attending births at various medical facilities such as Inova Fairfax, Inova Fair Oaks, George Washington (GW) University Hospital, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, Holy Cross Hospital, Sibley Memorial Hospital, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, ensuring that you receive the support and guidance you need during this transformative journey of childbirth.
Being a Birth Doula is not just a profession; it is a calling to serve, support, and empower women during one of the most profound and transformative moments of their lives. I firmly believe that every woman has the innate power to birth and that my role as a Doula is to be a guiding light, helping them embrace their strength and intuition. By fostering an environment of informed choice, love, and empowerment, Birth Doulas contribute to a world where women are not only celebrated during childbirth but are also nurtured and respected throughout their entire motherhood journey.
