I am happy to serve my clients in their preferred birthing location whether that is at the hospital or at home.

Do you only attend hospital births?

I proudly serve families of all colors, beliefs, genders, abilities, lifestyles, shapes, sizes, and family compositions. I understand the racial, gender, and socioeconomic disparities that exist in the medical system. I believe at my core that everyone deserves safe & respectful care, and I'm committed to helping all of my clients achieve this.

Do you have a preference on the types of families you serve?

I am a big believer in doula advocacy. My goal is never to speak on behalf of my client or make decisions for them, but to remember their wishes and help amplify their voice if their experience starts to deviate from their plans.

Are doulas advocates?

Doulas are strictly non-medical. We do not perform clinical tasks like checking your blood pressure, cervix, or fetal heart rate. We don't catch babies either! Doulas are not a substitute for a midwife, but we are a great addition to the birth team!

Questions & Answers

Not at all! While many people who hire a doula are hoping to give birth with minimal interventions, I wholeheartedly support all of my clients' decisions. My biggest goal is to help you have a positive, family-centered birth experience. I support all types of births, including planned cesareans. 

Are doulas only for "natural" births?

Yes! I am based in Kearney, but I'm able to travel anywhere in the state. Mileage fees may apply, so be sure to reach out for more information.

Do you travel?

Please reach out anyway! Occasionally I am able to provide services to low-income families at a reduced rate. I also offer payment plans to help decrease financial strain.

What if I really want a doula but it's just not in my budget?

It probably feels like having some dorky girl following you around, offering gentle encouragement and ensuring you drink water constantly. Just kidding! Having me as a doula means you'll have someone to hear you and offer love and care for your specific needs. Just call me your Birth Bestie!
