Certified Doula

Based in Santa Cruz California

DOULA SERVICES

To begin we will have an introductory Consultation (Free)

During this consultation, we will get to know each other, either over a phone call, walk or at a coffee shop. Whatever sounds best to you! We’ll discuss your pregnancy and birth plan and address any questions you may have for me. This meeting helps us determine if we're the right fit for each other, as finding the right doula for you is essential!

If you choose me as your Doula you can expect the following care throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum season.
