“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
— Barbara Katz Rothm

As an ALACE birth doula, I am a professional care provider who understands and trusts the process of birth, who respects its physical and emotional aspects as well as its transcendent and sacred aspects, and who facilitates the birth experience for parents, baby, and primary care providers. I provide continuous, uninterrupted care for the laboring woman and her partner, and help them participate fully in their experience by offering physical and emotional support and information about the birth process, available technology and alternatives. Like other doulas in private practice, I typically meet with the woman or couple prenatally, go to their home in early labor, and accompany them throughout labor and delivery in the setting of their choice. I also do follow up visits during the most important early postpartum period, when most families are otherwise left alone.
