About Guiding Gates Doula
Bio
I honor and support whatever birth experience YOU have chosen, whether it be at a hospital or home, medicated or not, and I will help you understand why that's the best choice for you. My passion for bringing choice and knowledge back to the laboring person is the reason I began birth work in 2021. I truly believe that the age-old cliché of "knowledge is power" is the absolute truth. When I'm not at a birth, I enjoy getting creative in the kitchen, eating (a little too much), and cleaning.
Q&A
Are there any specialities in who you serve? (e.g. home birth, VBAC, etc.)
I love attending home births and teaching advocacy in hospital births!
How do you answer the question: "I want your support but my partner feels like they'll be replaced"?
Honestly, once you have a doula, your partner will learn they can do so much to provide support! They will learn how you want to be touched, spoken to, and supported.
What's your top piece of advice for an expectant mom?
Know all of your options, so you're never left wishing you had known things that could have changed your experience.
