Dedicated Doula Support For Your Birth Story!
Imagine your birth... where you feel safe, supported, calm and in control.
I believe that birth is a deeply personal and intimate experience. Who you choose to surround yourself with makes an enormous impact on both the outcome and overall satisfaction you feel about your birth. We cannot control every factor, but we can prepare and respond with confident informed decision making.

Doula Availability
To uphold the highest standards of care, I consciously limit the number of clients I take on each month. This deliberate decision is rooted in a deep commitment to ensuring that every client receives the attention and support they deserve during this crucial time in their lives. My decision to limit the number of clients I take on each month is not just about managing my workload; it's about prioritizing the quality of care and support that I provide to each and every family. This approach allows me to uphold the core values of doula care—compassion, advocacy, and personalized support—ensuring that every client receives the dedicated attention they deserve during the transformative journey of childbirth.
At this time I am also more limited in my availability as I commit my time to training as a midwifery assistant with The OKC Birth & Wellness Center.
