Birth Doula Services in Northern Virginia and Washington DC
Bringing a Calming Presence to your Pregnancy and Birth Journey
A doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to an individual before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible.
Think of your doula as a trail guide:
She is familiar with the path,
keeps you hiking through the hard parts,
and reminds you that the view
at the end is incredible.
My goal is to bring a sense of calm to the room, to be an anchor for those on the birthing journey — to come alongside and support where it is needed, to hold space for the emotions and struggles, to rejoice with the birth of each new life.

I serve clients in the greater DC Metro area including Northern Virginia and areas of Maryland within about a 25 mile radius of Fairfax, Virginia.
I am passionate about helping families navigate the pregnancy and birth journey. My goal is always to educate, encourage, and equip clients to know their options and to be confident about their choices going into their birth experience.
I see my role in the birth team as one of bringing a calm, encouraging voice to your journey -- one that you know will support your decisions and work with your partner as you look toward welcoming your baby into the world.
