Doulas in New Hampshire

I'm certified through DONA International as a birth doula, and do postpartum work as well. I love working with new and forming families to make birth stories better!

I am a practicing birth doula and believe that all women and their partners should have the care they want during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. As your doula, I will help you identify the type of support you want, from educational resources to physical comfort measures during labor. I will protect the space and time you need to make medical decisions that are right for you and will support decisions you choose. Empowering you is the core of my practice.

I entered doula work after extensive time working in wildlife and conservation biology. My passion for the environment, wildlife, sustainability, and following my intuition were instrumental in my early years after college when I was a wilderness instructor for privileged and at-risk youth. Afterwards, I spent over 22 years as a wildlife biologist in Vermont and New Hampshire, specializing in peregrine falcons, bald eagles, and loons. Along the way, I earned my master’s degree in conservation biology from Antioch University, spending a semester studying in Costa Rica. These seemingly separate work histories have all taught me the value of following my instincts. As a doula, I bring that experience as I support others on their intuitive journey during their childbearing year, no matter what happens along the way. This is an honor and a privilege.

I enjoy involving partners during labor, facilitating everyone’s understanding of the options at hand, and supporting women in the manner that they desire. In addition to my required DONA training, I attended a two-week doula internship at a midwifery center in 2017. I also participated in volunteer training programs at WISE and a trained Hypnobabies Hypno-doula.
