A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I don’t replace your partner or care provider. I walk alongside you and your team offering comfort, encouragement, advocacy, and resources so you feel supported, calm, and confident every step of the way.

A midwife provides medical care, monitors your health, and delivers your baby. A doula is not a medical provider. My role is to support you emotionally, physically, and with information, while your midwife or OB handles the medical care.

Yes! I provide full doula support for medically necessary inductions and cesarean births. At this time, I’m not attending elective inductions, as I’ve found I can best serve families when birth unfolds naturally or with medical need. I’m always happy to connect families with other doulas if an elective induction is part of their plan.

I love supporting families in every birth setting. Beginning in 2026, I’ll be prioritizing homebirth families while still accepting occasional hospital births. This allows me to show up fully present and provide the care each family deserves.

I usually join you in active labor or whenever you feel you need support. We’ll stay in close touch as things progress, and I remain with you throughout your birth until about 1–2 hours after your baby arrives.

I take a limited number of births each month so I can give each family my full presence. For 2026, I’ll be accepting only a select number of clients, so it’s best to reach out early if you’re considering support.

A $400 non-refundable deposit secures your spot on my calendar. The remaining balance is split into two payments: the first due at 28 weeks and the second by 35 weeks of pregnancy.

I’m based in Minot, North Dakota, and serve families in the surrounding area, including Minot AFB. I typically stay within about an hour of Minot to provide the best support possible. I no longer attend births in Bismarck, but I’m happy to connect you with trusted doulas there.
