    We will discuss what a doula is, what doula support you are seeking, what doula support I can offer, and what you are looking for in a doula.

  • If you wish to partner with me, I will send you an intake packet with my Intake, Mutual Agreements, and Consent to Bill Insurance Forms to complete before our first visit.
