I’m passionate about assisting women in bringing their babies into the world and becoming a mother. This should be a joyful experience and cherished memory. Women need to feel educated and empowered to achieve their desired birth goals so to give birth in the fastest and safest possible way with the least amount of medical interventions needed. I support all types of birth and understand that many women may not receive the adequate support they require during childbirth. Therefore my goal is to provide that support to you and ensure you have a positive birthing experience. I am excited to begin our journey together and help make your dreams come true!
I wasn’t sure I would need a doula or not. This was my second unmedicated birth and my first went well so we questioned the value. When I tell you it made my birth experience tremendously different, it made a world of difference. My birth this time was about half the time of my first and the contractions picked up quickly. It was amazing to have someone guide my labor the whole way, time contractions for me, play my playlist, help do hip squeezes and comfort measures before I even asked for them. There was a point when I had stalled and my midwife suggested breaking my water to help progress things. I was in laborland and couldn’t think at that point, and Jody guided me through the risk and reward factors to help me make an informed choice. Having her helped my husband be less anxious because he had her knowledge and support to lean on. She knew when to step in and when to step back. If birth had a best friend, it would be Jody. I highly recommend her to anyone in or out of hospital for any birth, but especially if your goal is an unmedicated birth, book her now and thank me later!
