About me

Hello birthing parents! My name is Linda May. I have been a birth Doula for 10 years. I am currently in the process of becoming certified and becoming a certified postpartum Doula. I believe every birth is natural, whether supported by interventions or not. I also believe that every birth deserves to be supported by continuous education, physical, emotional, and spiritual support from a kind, caring and knowledgeable source. I don’t have a big social media presence please bear with me. While I do have a package that I refer to, this can always be altered to suit each client..
