My name is Valerie. I am a certified labor doula who also provides childbirth education, lactation support, and postpartum doula care. I help pregnant women achieve their dreams for pregnancy, childbirth, and their postpartum year. Many mothers want to strive for shorter, less painful labor and delivery of their babies, a well-nourished pregnancy, and a well-nurtured postpartum year for themselves. I can address and provide for all these aspirations and many more!

I am the right labor/postpartum doula & childbirth educator for you if these apply to you:

• You might be considering a homebirth to find a safer birthing option than hospitals regularly provide
• You would like support choosing or changing providers for yourself and or your baby if you may recognize your birth team doesn’t share the same philosophy surrounding pregnancy and birth
• You are invested in health and wellness for both you and your baby and want to be the captain of your own ship rather than belittled and made subservient to the “professionals” wanting to make your decisions on your behalf.
• You are interested in learning what routine practices are evidence-based care (& are not) so that you may find, receive and partake in healthcare that will provide the best outcomes possible
• You are looking for a personalized and comprehensive childbirth education series that addresses your concerns and personal needs
• You want continuous labor and postpartum support from a single person so that you may receive the love, care, and nurture that can only be the outflow of an interpersonal relationship.
