Mother To Mother
Doula Service

I've lived in the Northern Virginia area for the majority of my life.  I have more than 7 years of experience as a doula and received my certification through DONA.

I am a mom of 6 kids to which I have had difficult pregnancies.  All preterm births except for one born 15 minutes into the 37th week.  I have started my business, my mission!, to help moms & dads have the best birth experience possible.

Conception through birth is one of life's greatest miracles, and helping women have a memorable experience is important to me.

Why Do I Need a Doula?

Even if you have a wonderful, caring partner, doctor or midwife, will he or she:

  • Provide massage?  
  • Provide prenatal visits in your home?
  • Suggest positions to ease back labor and help with pushing?
  • Do the double hip squeeze or provide counter pressure?
  • Bring his or her birth ball to make your labor easier?
  • Come to your home and labor with you until it's time to go to the hospital or birthing center and then stay with you until the baby is born?
  • Stay by you providing encouragment while you are in transition and when the baby is being born?
  • Offer you cold/hot packs?
  • Provide cool cloths?  
  • Take photographs of you and your partner with your new baby?
  • Help you with breastfeeding?


If the answer to any of these questions is "NO" -- you need (and deserve) a doula
