Welcome to Windflower Doula!

My inspiration for becoming a Doula arrived with the birth of my daughter. I knew right away that I wanted to support women through this incredibly powerful life event.

I completed a Doula training course at the Center for the Childbearing Year in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and gained practice through Doulas Care, an amazing program that provides free Doula services to pregnant women in the greater Ann Arbor area. I also earned certification in Shiatsu Massage and Acupressure at the Mckinnon Institute of Massage in Oakland, CA. I have studied herbal medicine and have worked as an acupuncturist's assistant.

While I strongly believe in the midwife's model of natural childbirth, I also respect the individual choices of each Mother-to-be. As a doula I provide information to the pregnant and laboring woman so that she can make informed choices. I also provide emotional and physical support. My wish is to help women access their innate power and wisdom as their baby develops, is born, and adjusts to life on earth. My support never stands in the way of a partner's, but instead, provides space and information for them to give even more fully to their pregnant beloved.

My services include at least three prenatal visits, attendance in labor, and at least two postnatal visits, depending on the family's needs and desires. I would love to be your ally in birth!
