Doula Services

The word “doula” is Greek, meaning “woman caregiver.” I identify with this term because I provide heart-based care to all birthing people while they labor and love their child into the world.

Hiring a doula cuts in half the odds of an unnecessary cesarean, and also halves the odds of having a forceps or vacuum-extractor delivery. Having a doula present shortens labor by greatly reducing stress, pain, and anxiety. They’re the only one in the room whose sole responsibility is to make you as comfortable as possible.*

I received my doula training from Enlightened Mama in St. Paul, MN in 2015. Since then, I have attended 30 births at hospitals and birth centers in the Twin Cities metro area. I’ve doula-ed people through C-sections, Premature birth, swift labors, long labors, water births, Nitrous-oxide use during labor, Epidural-aided births, high-risk pregnancies, single parent birth, and LGBTQAI birth.

Please email me directly if you wish to set up a free consultation at healingartsbycm@gmail.com.

I look forward to meeting you
