Q: How do you answer the question: "I want your support but my partner feels like they'll be replaced"?

A: I know a lot about birth but your partner knows a lot about you! Together we can be the best support team you have ever seen. Birth is wonderful, scary, exciting, and mysterious. Most first time parents can aknowlege that a little help navigating something new is a good idea. That is where a doula comes in.

A: I have been a doula for over 10 years and a mom for much longer than that. My children are my greatest teachers and I would love to pass along all I have learned in life, motherhood, and birth related trainings on to you.
