The Benefits of a Doula!

The benefits of having a doula are many. The following study shows that the presence of a doula positively impacts your birth experience.

Look closely at these amazing results!

50% reduction in cesarean rate

25% shorter labor

60% reduction in epidural requests

40% reduction in Pitocin use

30% reduction in analgesia use

40% reduction in forceps delivery

(These statistics appear in Mothering the Mother: How a Doula Can Help You Have a Shorter, Easier, and Healthier Birth by Klaus, Kennell, and Klaus (1993)


My goal as a doula is to help you have the best birth possible regardless of the circumstances!



A Happy Grammie!

Phoenix area, Arizona, United States
This summer, I will celebrate being married to my wonderful husband, Craig, for 30 years! We have four grown children who I loved being a mom to and now I have the amazing privilege of being a Grammie! We have a grandson, Sylas who is 5 and granddaughter Ava who is 3 and they bring us TREMENDOUS joy! I am also a Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator and Lactation Educator! The miracle of birth is SO amazing to me and is a constant reminder of our Creator God.
