Birth Work & Doula Support
Feel Empowered, Birth in Power
Welcome to Breathe to Empower Birth Work and Doula Services! I’m thrilled that you’re here, and I’m honored to support you on your journey to parenthood. If you choose to work with me as your doula, you can expect to feel deeply supported, heard, and advocated for throughout your experience. I approach this work from a grounded, yogic perspective, blending physical, emotional, and spiritual support to help you stay present in your body and embrace each moment.
Together, we will navigate your unique birthing experience, empowering you to make informed decisions that resonate with your values and desires. My goal is to ensure that your birth feels positive and fulfilling, transforming it into an experience you actively participate in, rather than something that simply happens to you.
In addition to my doula services, I also offer childbirth education to help you prepare for labor and beyond. Knowledge is a powerful tool, and I am committed to equipping you with the information and resources you need for a confident and empowering birth experience.

What does a birth worker do?
A birth worker, often referred to as a doula or birth coach, plays a vital role in supporting individuals and families during the childbirth process
Emotional Support
Birth workers provide continuous emotional support to the birthing person, helping them feel calm, confident, and empowered throughout labor and delivery. They listen to concerns, offer encouragement, and create a nurturing environment.
Educational Support
Birth workers provide education about the birthing process, helping expectant parents understand what to expect during labor and delivery. They may offer childbirth education classes or resources to prepare families for the experience..
Creating a Birth Plan
They assist in creating a personalized birth plan, outlining the individual's preferences for labor, delivery, and postpartum care.
Physical Support
They offer various comfort measures, such as massage, breathing techniques, and positioning advice to help ease pain and enhance comfort during labor. They may also assist with movement and positioning to facilitate the birthing process.
Advocacy
A birth worker acts as an advocate for the birthing person's wishes, helping them communicate their desires and preferences to medical staff. They ensure that the birthing person’s choices are respected and supported.
Support for Partners
Birth workers also provide support for partners or family members, helping them understand their role and how to best support the birthing person.

Your journey begins with two prenatal visits. The first is virtual, allowing you to discuss your preferences and concerns from the comfort of your home, while the second is an in-person meeting where you can further explore your birth plan and connect on a deeper level. Throughout this process, you will have access to text and email support whenever you need it, ensuring that you never feel alone.

You’ll have access to a wealth of prenatal and postnatal resources, along with four hours of childbirth education, including two virtual sessions and two in-person sessions, empowering you with knowledge and confidence.
Finally, after your little one arrives, you’ll receive an in-home postpartum follow-up, lasting 90 minutes, 1-3 weeks after birth.

Classes can be conducted in your home or via Zoom, ensuring flexibility and convenience. Over the course of two to three sessions, each lasting two hours, you will gain valuable insights into the pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience. Everyone deserves access to quality education, and our goal is to ensure you feel empowered and informed every step of the way.
