 Birth Support

I am a trained birth companion, who comes to offer unconditional support, reassurance and comfort during labor and birth.

I will guide you and be continuously present, with kindness, compassion and without judgment. This journey is about you, not me.

​

   During your labor and childbirth, I can:

​

  • Help you cope with sensations through positions, massages, breathing, relaxation techniques. I will come when you need me, with a bag full of comforting tools

  • Support you physically and emotionally regardless your choices and the birth you desire, whether you are hoping for a unmedicated birth, want an epidural, are planning a water birth...

  • Make sure your intimacy - your "safe bubble"- is protected and preserved

  • Give you information so you can make your own decisions and be your own advocate

  • Be present for you and your partner. Birth partners need to rest, eat and be supported too. Often, partners participate more fully to the labor and birth process with a doula present

  • Stay by your side until baby is born and you are ready for me to go
