"I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart, I am never without it "- E.E. Cummings

First of all, I am so sorry for your loss.  

I provide labor support during miscarriages, stillbirths or other traumatic birth experiences. I understand these losses and the feelings that go along with them, both during the loss and in subsequent pregnancies. My husband and I have together lost 10 babies.As your doula, I am there to provide support during the labor/delivery of your baby(ies). 

I can provide education about choices concerning memorial or funeral arrangements and various keepsake options. I am also there to support and educate your care providers and other family members to ensure you are treated with compassion and understanding. As a woman with personal loss experience, I provide both emotional and physical support during the labor, delivery and postpartum period.Though the outcome during the birth experience of a baby born sleeping or a miscarriage is different than those of "normal" childbirths, it is still labor. A woman's body and mind still experience many of the same changes. I am able to make references to support groups and counselors as necessary. After the physical recovery, I am available for emotional long term support via email, phone, text, or personal meetings if necessary. 

I have compiled a list of resources that can be helpful. Please email me or send me a message and I will gladly send the information. 

I do support families in subsequent rainbow pregnancies. Please refer to my Services page for more information.
