Hiring a Doula for your birth journey benefits not just you, but your entire family. We provide unique care that complements the work of nurses and doctors. Walking with you every step of the way, we ensure you feel empowered, safe, and loved. Whether you're healing from a traumatic past birth or simply seeking additional support, we're here to guide you and your family, catering to your specific needs.

At Inner Serenity Doula, I provide tailored emotional and physical support during your pregnancy and birth. As your doula, I offer steady companionship, reassurance, and comforting words to ease your fears and anxieties. I'll also provide evidence-based info and encouragement to keep you strong. For physical support, I use techniques like massage, breathing exercises, positioning tips, and tools like birthing balls. Postpartum, I'll help you adjust to life with your new baby. My goal is to create a balance of emotional and physical support for a calm and peaceful childbirth experience.

Having a Doula can enhance the birth experience for both you and your partner, as they provide additional support and guidance. It can strengthen relationships rather than negatively impact them.

Absolutely! Doulas are trained in various comfort techniques, such as massage, breathing exercises, and positioning, to help manage pain during labor.

A Doula can provide valuable support and guidance during the postpartum period, offering emotional support, breastfeeding assistance, newborn care education, and practical help with household chores. At Inner Serenity Doula Care, we understand the unique needs of each family during this time and aim to provide personalized care and support to promote a smooth transition into parenthood. Our services may include helping with light meal preparation, assisting with breastfeeding or bottle feeding, and offering non-judgmental emotional support to ease the adjustment to life with a newborn. We strive to create a nurturing and peaceful environment in which new parents can confidently and comfortably bond with their baby.

Doulas work alongside doctors and nurses, complementing their care and providing continuous support throughout the birthing process. Doulas do not replace health care professionals.

While Doulas provide emotional and physical support, midwives are healthcare professionals who provide medical care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Doulas are there to make sure your birth expectations are met.

I am certified as a labor and delivery doula through The Elite Doula & Co. I am getting further education to become a full spectrum doula through them as well

A labor and delivery doula supports you physically, emotionally, and informationally, during your pregnancy and childbirth. They ensure your comfort and empowerment from labor onset until your baby arrives. A full spectrum doula does all that and is trained in more, offering care like overnight services, lactation, and even bereavement care. They provide continuous, compassionate care through all reproductive experiences.

At Inner Serenity Doula Care, I am pleased to offer my services for home births, hospital births, and birthing center births. I am happy to support you in the birthing environment that you feel most comfortable in. I am committed to providing personalized care and support to meet your unique needs and preferences during your birthing experience. Whether you choose a home birth or hospital setting, I am dedicated to guiding and assisting you every step of the way, ensuring a positive and empowering birthing experience.

We understand the importance of being there for you during your birth. In the rare event that I am unable to attend your birth due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness or another birth overlapping with yours, I will always have a backup doula in place. This doula will be someone I trust and have established a rapport with, ensuring you still have the support and guidance you need during this incredibly special time. I will work closely with my backup doula to ensure they are familiar with your birth plan, preferences, and any other important details. Rest assured that both myself and my backup doula are committed to supporting you in every way possible, even in unexpected situations.
