Registered Massage Therapist
I provide emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy and birth. Doulas understand the process of labor and birth, and provide continuous support – like massage, aromatherapy, guided breathing and relaxation, rebozo, and positions – to help birthing parents navigate their process into parenthood. As your RMT/Doula I will come to your house in early labor, and assist you with comfort measures, remaining calm and relaxed, and laboring more easily. As an RMT I have the added benefit of many years of experience working with pregnant bodies to ease pain and tension, creating an inner sense of calm and control.If you have a partner your doula will help them to support you better.
A doula can help birthing parents access their own inner resources in order to:
Have a shorter, easier labor
Use less interventions
Use less pain medications (if that is your desire)
Feel more informed about their birth options
Have more positive feelings about their labor and birth
