Nurture & Connect Doula Services LLC

I am a mother and grandmother who brings a calm, caring presence to every family I support. I support all birth journeys, including medicated and unmedicated births, cesarean births, TOLAC, and high risk pregnancies. My goal is to help you feel informed, encouraged, and cared for through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

  • Most families meet with me two to three times during pregnancy, depending on their needs and what feels most helpful for them.
