RAISE Doula

Welcome to my Doula Page! 

I'm a Birth Doula and Birth Photographer! First off, congrats on expecting your little bundle of joy! 

I am passionate about supporting woman to feel confident, ready, informed and supported during their births. Together we can create a birth plan that is catered to your values, wishes and needs, answer any and all of your questions, and feel confident that you CAN do this! I am also passionate about those first moments being undisturbed, skin to skin, breastfeeding, creating a peaceful environment for the birthing mother and advocating for the mother on their behalf. My inspiration comes from my grandmother, who was a midwife in South Africa. She would be SO proud of the work that I am doing, creating natural birthing environments and caring for woman as she did for many years. 

How I like to describe my job is "a doulas role is to stand at the back of the room and hug the room. What does the room need?" I fill in where I'm needed! As a photographer, I capture those powerful moments, supporting moments, and first moments! I capture as intimate or as discreet as preferred.

Doula on Speed-Dial:

  • Unlimited Text/Email/Call Support for 6 weeks Post Birth
  • Occasional Video Chats or as Needed

Do you know that between 1 and 6 weeks, very little support is given to a new mother? A follow up appointment doesn’t usually happen until that 6-week mark and A LOT can happen before then! Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone you can trust to text with whatever and whenever you have questions!?
