Birth Support: Before, During, and After

Partners and Doulas: Working Together

If you have a partner or support person joining you for birth, I don't replace them—I empower them.

Your partner knows you in a way I never will. They know what comforts you, what you find funny, what you need when things get hard. What I bring is experience with labor and birth, knowledge of what's happening and what comes next, and a steady presence that lets your partner focus on being with you rather than trying to remember everything from the childbirth class.

During our prenatal sessions, I'll teach your partner how to support you, physically and emotionally, so they walk into the birth room prepared. During labor, we'll work as a team: I'll guide them, suggest positions and comfort measures they can help with, tag in when they need rest, and make sure they feel confident and included. Your partner will be an essential part of the birth, not a bystander.

Some partners want to be hands-on for every contraction; others would rather hold your hand and let me handle the rest. Both are right. We'll talk through how involved your partner wants to be, and my job is to make room for whatever works for the two of you.

Sibling Doula Support

I also offer sibling doula support—helping little ones feel included and cared for during the birth of their new sibling.
