Working with a doula can add incredible value to your experience while pregnant, during childbirth, and postpartum. I have loved learning about women’s health, pregnancy, and postpartum for over ten years. Becoming a doula was a natural next step for me in this process so I could help women through that experience in a more official way. I love to share resources, products, and services that can help women learn about their own health and empower them to have full autonomy over their bodies. Hormones, fertility, pregnancy, and more; I love to learn and share helpful information about these subjects. I want all women to understand their options so when they make decisions, especially ones about their birth, they know they are making the right decision for themselves.
You can read testimonials below from my past clients who I worked with to prepare for birth and postpartum. Now that I am unable to be a doula full time, I am available for shorter 1:1 sessions and decided to share all of the digital products I created for my clients to provide quick, affordable access to information on pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.
“My experience with Natalie is definitely one I’ll never forget, as a single and first time mom I wanted to prepare myself as much as I could for my baby, especially since I chose to a home birth. Natalie helped me so much through education on birth, supported me before, during and after my pregnancy. It was the support I needed and honestly one any mom to be can benefit from. Even my family learned so much with me and have a totally different perspective on home births. Eternally grateful for this experience and all the love and support you gave us before and after.” -Alice H., first time mama
“Natalie was an amazing support during my pregnancy. As a first time mom I had so many unknowns and fears. Natalie took time explaining everything to my and my husband never made us feel like any question was crazy or ridiculous. Learning and having support from her was truly a blessing during my pregnancy. She also made sure I had the right tools for any type of birth and post partum care. Any mom that gets the pleasure of working with Natalie is extremely lucky and in great hands!” -Alana G., first time mama
“Natalie was an absolute wealth of knowledge and information. Meeting with Natalie helped put me at ease and she gave me the tools and the confidence to make sure I could be the most supportive and helpful partner through this process. I highly recommend Natalie and any soon to be father should meet with her for guidance.” - Scott E., first time dad
“My husband and I had a session with Natalie a few weeks after we got home from the hospital. She was so lovely and kind, and extremely knowledgeable. She helped set us up with a routine and answered all of our (many) questions. She also has a large community and was able to connect me to a lactation consultant when I had a bad case of mastitis. Highly recommend working with Natalie!” -Lauren C., second time mama
"Natalie was amazing to work with at a very big time in our lives. Even though this was my second delivery, I was trying for a VBAC [Vaginal birth after Cesarean]. Natalie gave me so many great tips I absolutely used while in labor. I remembered many of the useful tips she gave me which helped. Her very calm and confident demeanor kept coming back to me. Natalie is the best and if I was having another baby (no more babies for me!), I’d have her in the room with me." -Danielle C., second time mama
“I strongly recommend Natalie for anyone looking for an amazing doula. She supported me during my 1st pregnancy and couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Appreciated her calmness and reassurance throughout my journey, always making me feel comfortable. Her wealth of knowledge and experience allowed her to tailor to my personal preferences. She provided me with reminders and suggestions that we discussed beforehand. Will forever be grateful for helping me have an empowering birth experience.” -Gabriela S., first time mama
"My husband works offshore and is away for long stretches of time. With the birth of our first child, we traveled abroad and stayed with family, who helped support me while he was gone for a couple of months. However, there are no family members who lived near us for my second birth, and I wanted to do my second birth at home. Natalie provided live-in postpartum doula services for the first month. There were so many factors at play! From managing my 19-month-old and caring for my physiological needs as I healed from childbirth to providing me with mental health support, and helping me manage the logistics of daily household management. Natalie listened to exactly what I wanted and customized her support to meet my needs and help me achieve my goals, including effectively sleep-training my infant. Her service as an educated and experienced doula gave me so much more than the support of a family member could. I don't know how I could have done any of it without her. With her services, my babies and I thrived. I can't recommend Natalie's doula support and educational resources enough. She really knows her stuff!" -Dyani L., second time mama
