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 do attend both hospital & home births. I love supporting families in every birth setting, though I do have a special love for home births.

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. It’s best to reach out early if you’re interested in working together.

A $500 non-refundable deposit secures your spot on my calendar. The remaining balance is split into two payments: the first due at 20 weeks and the second by 30 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.
