                                                        Birth takes so muscle and I am a massage therapist. 
I   have been a professional and active doula since 2003. I have attended over 300  births in twelve different hospitals, three birth centers and many, many homes. 

I am an active doula in the birth room​. My goals are to keep you and your family as comfortable and as informed as possible. I want all of your physical and emotional needs met.I want to teach your birth partner to be me and learn all my moves to help their partner.  I want you to know all of your options at every turn. 
I have experience with all the facets of birth including transfers of care, high risk pregnancies, rainbow babies, inductions, gestational diabetes, hypertension, planned and unplanned c-sections,  v-bacs and malpositioned babies and losses. I use my experience, my bodywork skills and my childbirth education for every birth I attend. Every birth is like a snowflake no two are ever the same.

I hav9e  attended all types of births (home, hospital & birth center) in Kitsap, Jefferson and King County.
I DO NOT charge extra to leave Kitsap County. I believe that the hospital options, equipment and providers are often better outside of Kitsap County.
