About Me

 

I am able to work with you as a Doula in any place you have decided to have your baby. Whether it is at home, at a Birth Center or in any of the surrounding hospitals. I strive to make your birthing experience a positive one. Please contact me directly for availability and rates. 

I am currently certified by DONA International

I am also able to provide you with HypnoBirthing Childbirth Education Classes. I will be offering private 5 week series in your home, or at Core Elements in Bath. Please see the HypnoBirthing link for further information.

I am a 34 year old mother of 2. I have a daughter, Elizabeth who is 9, and a son, Andrew who is 6. I have been married for 11 years and have lived in North Yarmouth since 2000. I am also a stay at home mom.

I took the Doula course at the Ballard House in June of 2005. Since then I have attended numerous births including  Natural, Cesarean, and VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) births.

I am able to travel to many areas from Scarborough all the way up to the Bath-Brunswick area. Anywhere within a 1 hour radius of North Yarmouth. If you are unsure if I will be able to include your town, please call me. If I am unable to, I can definitely refer you to another Doula who is in your area. I am also able to go to all of the local hospitals including, but not limited to, Maine Med, Mercy, Mid Coast, CMMC, and Parkview.

I am willing to work with you in whatever choices you have made. I will never install my own feeling or opinions, and will be there to support you in your decisions. Whether you have decided on having a planned cesarean, induction of labor, epidural or other pain relief, or a completely drug free birth, I will be able to help you with emotional, physical, and well as informational support to let you have the best birthing experience possible. I am also willing to work with whatever health care provider you have chosen, and will not get in the way of their advise. I am simply there to support you in all of your decisions.

As part of my services you will receive at least 2 prenatal visits, as well as my presence during your entire labor.  I will also remain for a few hours after birth until you are comfortable, and I am no longer needed. I then meet with you 2 times after your birth to answer any questions and to give you a copy of all pictures taken during your labor and birth as well as anything else that we have to share.

If you need any further information, please feel free to contact me.
