Support That Centers You

Pregnancy and birth can bring excitement, uncertainty, questions, and a lot of decisions. You deserve support that makes space for all of it.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own body and experience. I am here to listen, help you understand your options, prepare alongside you, and offer steady physical and emotional support throughout the process.

With more than a decade of experience in therapeutic bodywork, along with training in birth doula care and prenatal, birth, and postpartum massage, I bring a body-aware and nervous-system-informed approach to doula support.

How I Can Support You

Prenatal Support

Time to build trust, talk through your hopes and concerns, explore your options, and prepare for labor and birth together.

Labor & Birth Support

Calm, continuous support through labor, including positioning, movement, massage, comfort techniques, and guidance for your partner.

Postpartum Support

Support for recovery, adjustment, emotional well-being, and settling into life with your baby and growing family.

A Body-Aware Approach to Birth Support

My background in therapeutic massage, yoga, and nervous system support shapes the way I work as a doula.

Labor is a deeply physical experience, but it can also be emotional and unpredictable. I pay close attention to what helps you feel safe, grounded, and connected to your body. Depending on your needs, that may include movement, positioning, massage, breathing, quiet reassurance, or simply having a calm person nearby who understands your preferences.

My goal is not to direct your birth. It is to help you feel supported as you move through it.

Insurance and Accessible Care

I accept the Oregon Health Plan and can bill OHP directly for covered doula services. If you have OHP, your plan covers doula support during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum.

Many private health insurance plans in Oregon now cover doula care as well. Coverage and reimbursement can vary by plan, but I am happy to help you understand the process and determine your next steps.

If you do not have insurance, or your plan does not cover doula care, I offer customized packages and sliding-scale options to help make support more accessible.

You deserve support throughout your pregnancy and birth, and cost should not prevent you from exploring your options. Schedule a free consultation and we can talk through your coverage, your needs, and how to get started.
