Strength-based support for your birth

My Mission

As a birth doula serving Youngstown, OH and the surrounding areas, my mission is to provide compassionate physical and emotional support to expectant mothers. I am dedicated to helping families achieve a positive birth experience that aligns with their values, preferences, and unique vision for their birth.

About Me

I am an AWWS-certified birth doula, a mom of four, and proud to call the Youngstown, OH area home. As a stay-at-home mom and an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, communication, connection, and advocacy are at the heart of everything I do.

After the birth of our first daughter, I knew I wanted to help other women experience just how empowering labor and delivery can be. Birth is transformative, and I am passionate about walking alongside moms-to-be as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with confidence and support.

I love educating, encouraging, and providing hands-on support to families as they prepare for their unique birth experience. Whether you’re hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an in-hospital birth with medical interventions available, considering a home birth, creating a birth plan, or simply looking for comfort measures and practical tools, I would be honored to support you and your strength throughout this journey.

Childbirth and Comfort Measures Class $200

This comprehensive 3-hour in-home class is designed to prepare you for labor and delivery with knowledge, practical skills, and confidence. We’ll explore the stages of labor, what you can expect during each phase, and the common medical interventions that may be offered along the way.

You’ll also learn and practice effective breathing techniques and hands-on comfort measures to help manage pain and support labor progression. Both the mother and their support person are encouraged to participate, so you can work together as a team during labor.

The goal of this class is to equip parents with evidence-based information and practical tools so you can make informed decisions and feel prepared to navigate childbirth with confidence.

This in-home class is a wonderful option for families who prefer not to have a birth doula present at their birth but still want practical tools to confidently manage labor. In this personalized 1.5-hour session, you’ll learn effective breathing techniques, helpful labor positions, and hands-on comfort measures to support pain management and encourage labor progression.

Designed for both the mom-to-be and their support person, this class equips you with the skills and confidence to navigate labor as a team.
