What is a Doula?

As a doula, I am invited into peoples’ lives during some of their most transforming, raw, and vulnerable times. I have had the honor to work with families from around the world, and  I've come to learn that regardless of whom I'm working with, there is always a common thread. Irrespective of peoples' background or profession, we are all intrinsically connected. Additionally, when it comes to starting a family, nature inevitably prevails.

Ayurveda acknowledges these life-changing transitions as a part of the elemental shifts that take place in nature and time. By integrating the holistic practice of Ayurveda into my work, I am able to provide comprehensive support that offers comfort and relief during times of extreme transition. I provide people with the tools to build healthy foundations for their growing families.

“Present health care practices and lack of cultural rituals leave families virtually unsupported at this important time in their lives. There is a great deal of evidence suggesting that quality support can ease the transition that comes with the addition of a baby to the family.”
