I provide support for families based on their needs and desires.
I draw strength, wisdom, and guidance from the Jewish tradition transmitting to my clients the knowledge and rituals our ancestors shared. There are so many matters to manage during pregnancy: eating healthy, getting plenty of rest, and diving into a sea of pregnancy books. All are important preparations for baby, but we should not neglect the spiritual and emotional preparation of the birther! Birth is not only about creating babies. Birth is about creating mothers.
My Philosophy
Each birth is as individual as the person birthing, and each family has unique desires and hopes for the birth of their child. As your doula, I will support you and your partner in your desires for your birth. I will support you if you choose... hospital birth, home birth, OB/GYN, midwife, epidural, natural birth, chanting, swearing, food, noise, silence, cesarean, water birth, VBAC, birth center, induction, spontaneous labor, etc. I support you in YOUR birth choices, whatever they may be. I empower you through informed choice so you may empower yourself. As Diana Korte writes in her book, A Good Birth, A Safe Birth, “if you don’t know your options, you don’t have any.”
