Birth Doula Services

Mission

At The Nesting Meadow, I believe birth is sacred — a profound and transformative experience worthy of reverence, protection, and deep respect.

I am devoted to serving women who desire a physiologic birth, meaning labor that unfolds through the body’s innate wisdom: the spontaneous onset and progression of labor without routine medical interventions, allowing natural hormonal, physical, and behavioral processes to guide birth and immediate postpartum adaptation for both mother and baby.

Physiologic birth looks different for every woman, and I believe it is possible in any birth setting when thoughtful preparation and support are in place. My role is to offer guidance and reassurance, advocate for your wishes, and help you bring the birth you envision to life — whatever that may look like.

I currently work with women planning home births, birth center births, and hospital births who are seeking a holistic, full-spectrum doula.

A Note on Flexibility & Autonomy
While I am deeply passionate about physiologic birth, my role is never to judge or impose an agenda. You will be supported with the same presence, care, and respect however your birth unfolds or if your preferences change.

A Different Kind of Prenatal Care

Prenatal visits with me are not clinical or rushed. Instead, they are unhurried and connective. My intention during our time together is to truly get to know you — your story, your family, your values, and your hopes for birth.

Our prenatal sessions may include exploring your ancestral birth lineage, past birth experiences, desires, fears, and more. We’ll discuss comfort measures, collaboration with care providers, herbs and nutrition (if desired), and create a birth plan that feels fully aligned. I also provide guidance and education for your partner and any other members of your support team.

These visits are shaped around you. We might share a meal, take a long walk in nature, move or stretch together, sit and talk, or simply rest and be. There is no rigid agenda — only space for presence and preparation.

During birth, women naturally enter altered states of consciousness — an instinctual, inward space where the rational mind softens and the body leads. This is not something to fear; it is something to prepare for.

As part of my prenatal care, I offer collaborative breathwork or meditation practices to help your nervous system become familiar with these altered states before labor. These practices cultivate confidence and trust in your body, so when birth unfolds, you are supported by someone who knows you and whom your body already recognizes as safe.
