I travel all around the East Bay from Fremont to Berkley to Tracy to Antioch & everywhere in between.
What is a doula? A doula offers care and support to women before, during and after labor.
Why am I am doula? I believe a woman should be empowered during labor. I believe a woman has the right to control what happens during her birth. I believe that women can be strong, beautiful, vulnerable, nervous and excited during labor. I believe that having a doula helps to make labor more relaxed and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Through education, experience and extensive use of resources I help prepare a pregnant woman for her upcoming journey. During labor, I offer continuous physical and emotional encouragement to a laboring woman and her partner. I also provide postpartum care in the new mother's home to make sure the transition into motherhood is as it should be. I help birthing mothers recognize their own strength and confidence. I hope to help provide a more positive, safe and joyful birth experience for you.
I offer Private Labor Doula Services and On-Call Labor Doula Services.

I've helped over 100 ladies have babies.
I'm a mom of two boys. I volunteer at their schools in the classroom.
I've been happily married for 15 years. I've worked in the corporate world, working 60 hours a week for many years. When I became a mom, I decided to stay home with my boys. I've been a stay-home-mom for 12 years (time flies!)
My friends and family joke that I'm Jill of all Trades. I have many interests (golf, art, painting, gardening, reading, animals, yoga, home improvement, running, skiing, biking). I love learning new things.
I have a BS in Business from Cal Poly State University with a minor in Art.
I'm a member of DONA (Doulas of North America) International, BABA (Bay Area Birth Association) , CAPPA, Co-leader of Mt. Diablo Doula Community, Tri Valley Natural Families, ICEA, East Bay Doula Group, and I'm the Livermore La Leche League leader.
One of the most important things to remember when picking a doula is chemistry. If you feel you can talk with, cry with, laugh with and most important labor with a woman, then you have probably found the right doula.
