YOUR BIRTH, YOUR WAY
I believe that birth is an amazing, natural and beautiful process.
I believe in the ability of a woman to birth her baby wherever and however she is most comfortable...whether it is at home, a birthing center or a hospital.
My job is to support YOU and your partner in whatever that looks like to YOU....whether it's natural birth, medicated or otherwise.
Your partner should be as active in your labor and birth as their comfort level allows, and I will support the both of you in that.
The mind-body connection during labor is an amazing tool at your disposal. I believe when a woman is in labor she should move around as much as she wants/needs, working with labor and not against it.
Sometimes birth happens quickly and sometimes it happens slowly, there is no "normal".
I believe that prenatal preparations are important factors in an empowered, educated, happy birth and postpartum period, and that a women should be informed about her options and be encouraged to carry out our her choices.
My goal is that you have a satisfying and wonderful birth experience however YOU define it.
What People are Saying
Britt
There were so many times during our journey of pregnancy, delivery, and post-partum where her wisdom, guidance, and support made the difference between feeling in crisis to feeling empowered in our choices.....

I didn't plan to have a Doula at first. But looking back, I don't think we could have done it without her. I'd HIGHLY recommend her without a doubt to anyone. If you are on the fence like I was. Stop thinking about it and do it. It's the best decision you will make.

Carli was super supportive to both me and my husband, and I attribute the smoothness of the whole process to her. I went from being terrified for labor and delivery to it actually being my favorite part of the whole experience! Carli is a knowledgable, caring, and down-to-earth person which I think makes her a wonderful doula.
