Evelyn’s Birth & Postpartum, Mar/Apr 2017
by Melody M Elaine was so wonderful and supportive throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. As first time parents my husband and I had so many questions and Elaine was patient and helpful the whole time.

Ada’s birth, May 2017

Along these strings wisdom, encouragement, friendship, laughter, tears and even critique slide from woman to woman or even hang in the in-between like the […]
Niah’s Birth, April 2016
I was originally hired to be the postpartum doula for this family but then stepped in as back-up doula when the couple’s original doula was at another birth. This rarely happens but it’s something we are happy to cover each other for in the doula community. The continuity of care for being their birth and […]
Statistics
At the end of the year it is common for birth professionals to put their statistics up to show birth outcomes for the year. This practice has never felt like a fit for my own work but I kept track this year, officially, for the first time and I can see why it’s appealing. Sometimes […]

by R Alexander After a difficult birth experience with my first child, I was committed to the idea of including a doula in our birth plans for our second.
