Let’s chat! (Up to 60 minutes)

Before hiring me as your doula, it’s my priority to ensure you feel confident in your choices and feel you can trust me. To do that, I offer a free 1-hour chat to get to know me and to ask any questions you may have to help you decide whether to invite me into your birth experience. Here, I’ll also fire away some questions to get to know you too!

Once you decide to make me part of your team, here’s what you can expect…
