I’m Beth, a Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator
I help pregnant women have calm and confident birth experiences!
Birth education is what I LOVE!
In 2020, I was a pregnant nursing student blindly following my midwife’s advice. I didn’t know I had choices, I was not informed or involved in my prenatal care, and I had no clue I could advocate for myself, or even how, during labor!
I love teaching expecting parents—like you— the choices available during pregnancy and birth and helping you decide what is best for your experience...
☑️ Without stress.
☑️ Without fear.
☑️ Without uncertainty.
☑️ Without coercion from others.
I will help you set high expectations and approach your birth with a sense of fearlessness and excitement.
You deserve nothing less!
Why I became a birth doula…
I didn't realize how unnecessarily rushed my first birth was with medical interventions until I reflected after supporting my first physiologic, hospital birth.
The moment I was admitted into the hospital with my first baby, I gave away my autonomy, I didn't know I had choices, and I was very good at being a compliant patient. My baby and I were healthy, but I still grieve the birth I deserved.
Since then, I have worked as a labor and delivery nurse, became a certified nurse midwife, and had my second daughter just four days after graduation! It was an incredible, redemptive hospital water birth.
It became so clear to me over the years, that birth could be beautiful and not scary… and women should feel empowered to trust their bodies. But the system lacks continuous support. The same month I graduated and had my second baby, I began my own path, helping families do just this as a birth doula and childbirth educator.
What I wish every mom knew…
You are the expert of your body, your baby, your situation, your values… NOT your provider. It’s not that their recommendations don’t matter, because they do. But, you are the one who gets to make the final decision and the individualized care you receive should be centered around your values.
Every step of the way, you should have all the information in a non-biased way, encouraged to make the best decision for yourself, and be supported in whatever it is that you choose.
I urge all families to set high expectations for personalized support and encourage education throughout their pregnancy, especially before being admitted to the hospital in labor!
I have seen the limitations of hospital policies and inability to provide high-quality individualized care in the clinic and hospital settings as a nurse and midwife. With additional continuous support from a birth doula and/or childbirth educator, you can absolutely have the incredible, positive birth you deserve!
Fulfill your dream birth fantacies…
Every woman’s “perfect birth” is different. But settling for a healthy mom and baby is not enough.
Pregnant women need to set the bar higher! What about…
☑️ A warm, inviting, and peaceful birth space - just like home. With soft lighting and a supportive team by your side. Yes, even during a hospital birth!
☑️ A place you can relax and focus, simply trusting birth without intervention.
☑️ Feeling confident enough to control your environment and educated enough to advocate for yourself.
Trusting birth and slowing down the “rush” of the hospital can be a challenge if unprepared, but you can make it happen for your birth!
If this sounds interesting to you, let's chat more about how to make it happen.
