Certified Labor Doula & Lactation Counselor CLD (CAPPA), CLC

In 2017 I began training as a labor doula and, shortly after, found out I was pregnant. In a matter of weeks, the topic of birth went from a whisper of curiosity to something that was shouting my name. Hiring my doula was the best thing I could have done for myself and I am still reaping the benefits years later. My doula helped me to prepare for the birth that I wanted and cope effectively when it was not going my way. I walked away with a set of skills and a sense of confidence as a new mother which is priceless. I want to pass those tools onto other parents— whatever form their birth takes. I live in Newtown, Connecticut with my husband and two children. I have worked 12+ years in marketing and attribute my communication skills, organization, and ability to connect with people of different view points to that professional experience. I am a certified birth doula and lactation counselor, bringing a holistic and diverse approach to clients prenatal, birth and postpartum experiences. In addition to traditional birth doula support, my services include lactation, Spinning Babies, Mindful Birthing and postpartum support. My model of care combines warmth, intuition and evidence based knowledge, beginning at first contact and continuing well beyond the birth! I work as a birth doula in hospitals, birth centers and at home across Fairfield, Litchfield & New Haven counties (CT) and Putnam, & Westchester counties (NY).
