Hi mama, I’m Sam. I’m a pregnancy, labor, and postpartum doula—and a former labor & delivery nurse—so I’ve supported women through both the clinical and deeply personal sides of birth. I know how overwhelming this season can feel. The questions, the unknowns, the “am I doing this right?” thoughts that come up when you’re trying to make the best decisions for you and your baby. My role is to help you feel informed, grounded, and supported every step of the way—whether that means advocating for your preferences, helping you navigate the unexpected, or simply being a calm, steady presence when you need it most. This is your birth, your postpartum, your experience—and you deserve to feel confident and cared for through all of it. I’m here for you 🤍

I provide holistic, evidence-based support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum—because each stage asks something different of your body, your mind, and your emotions. During pregnancy, we focus on education, preparation, and building your confidence so you feel ready—not overwhelmed. In labor, I offer continuous support through comfort techniques, positioning, advocacy, and calm guidance so you never feel alone or unsure of what’s happening. In postpartum, I help you adjust, recover, and find your rhythm—whether that’s newborn care, emotional support, or simply having someone there to lighten the load. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and give you the support you actually need in each moment.

Samantha has been an incredible support throughout my postpartum journey. She made me feel truly supported, empowered, and heard during a very intense time in my life. This is my second pregnancy, and this experience has been completely different—in the best way—thanks to her. You can genuinely see Samantha’s passion in everything she does. She pays close attention to every detail, always ensuring my needs are met, and brings such a deep sense of empathy and care. I am beyond grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone needing compassionate postpartum care, birth planning or labor.

Words from one of our clients: “ One of the nights I was in the most pain in my labor Sam was with me. She felt like a best friend and helped me feel calm when I was feeling really nervous. She helped calm my nerves through the epidural and was my guide through everything!”
