Your Journey Our Support

If you’re feeling uncertain about birth or overwhelmed by the transition into motherhood, you’re not alone. I specialize in supporting first-time moms who need reassurance, education, and emotional guidance through every step of your journey to motherhood, from prenatal care to postpartum support. You don’t have to have it all figured out—you just need the right support. With the knowledge that you have options, we can honor your instincts and give you all the tools to step into birth with confidence. More than anything, I want you to feel empowered, heard, and fully in control of your experience. You are stronger than you think, and your body is capable of incredible things. Let’s navigate this journey together, one step at a time. Contact me to learn more!

Compassionate Care

I am passionate about supporting first-time moms who feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or anxious about birth and motherhood. If you’re struggling with fear—whether it’s fear of labor, fear of the unknown, or fear of stepping into your new identity—I’m here to guide you with compassion and reassurance.

​

Your body is capable of incredible things; even if you don’t fully trust that yet, it's true! My role is to provide emotional grounding and unwavering support so you can make informed decisions that feel right for you. I will help you learn to advocate for your wants and needs, as well as, provide comprehensive education to help you make informed decisions for your labor, birth, and postpartum care. You don’t have to know exactly what you want in the delivery room—what matters is that you feel empowered, heard, and respected every step of the way.

​

Autonomy is everything. You deserve a birth experience that honors your instincts, respects your choices, and surrounds you with care—not pressure. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe, strong, and fully in control of your journey into motherhood.

Dori is amazing! After having a difficult birthing experience with my first birth I was excited to have a doula by my side to help me advocate for what I wanted. Dori went above and beyond, always available to answer questions and made me feel like my concerns were valid. She helped comfort me during labor walking me through different techniques to calm my nerves and ease the pain and discomfort.

What is your perfect birth? 

Is it in a tub unmedicated? 

In the hospital with an epidural? 

In a planned C-Section? 

At home in your own environment?

Whatever path you take, the perfect birth is one where you feel heard and empowered. I’ll be by your side every step of the way.
