My Story

With a background in public health and credits towards my RN, I am dedicated to using evidence-based techniques to support women and families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Being by the side of birthing women is both thrilling and rewarding, as I strive to ensure their well-being during this time. It is truly a beautiful and humbling experience share in the birth space, and I am here to guide you every step of the way. As a doula I provide continuous emotional support.  I provide unbiased support and am excited to support all births in hospital or birth center settings!  Let's make this journey unforgettable together!

 

 

I grew up with a pediatric health issue that required my involvement in the healthcare system from a young age. I understand the complexities of healthcare settings and the emotions they can evoke. I take great pride in providing support and comfort to women and families planning to deliver in hospital or birth center environments. My goal is to help you navigate these spaces with confidence, ensuring you feel empowered and cared for every step of the way. Together, we can make your birth experience as positive, emotionally safe and empowered as possible.

 

Through my doula training and personal experiences I have honed various skills in using comfort measures to support women and their partners during birth. Some of my favorite techniques include music, visualization, breath work, prayer, aromatherapy, movement, and acupressure, among others. I believe that each woman’s journey is unique, and I am here to tailor these comfort measures to fit your needs. Together, we can create a calming and supportive environment that enhances, honors and supports your birth experience.

Testimonials

"I worked with Grace during the first half of my labor, as she filled in for my doula who was attending another birth at the time. Grace arrived at the perfect time - I was getting induced and had just received cytotec and a cook ballon to help open my cervix. I was in a lot of pain and was telling my husband that I wanted an epidural, even though I had originally planned on waiting longer. Just at that moment Grace arrived, my husband encouraged me to work with her for an hour and see how I feel before going for the epidural. 

 

Grace was very responsive. She had tons of ideas for positions and exercises that would help ease the pain and my labor progress. I ended up lasting several hours and at the next check in, I was 6 cm dialated! She kept me moving so I did not feel pain and helped my labor progress quickly and with great comfort. Even though we met for the first time that morning, she was incredibly friendly and built rapport with me and my husband right away. I highly recommend working with Grace if you're looking for a doula!"   -Emily P.
