Doula Services : Holistic Support for Your Pregnancy Journey

Birth should be empowering, not frightening. As your doula, I bring my experience as both a birth worker and an acupuncture physician to support you through one of life's most transformative journeys. The modern medical system often turns birth into a clinical event rather than the profound, natural process it is. I'm here to help you navigate that system while honoring your body's innate wisdom.

Your birth, your choices—with knowledgeable support by your side. I take on only a few doula clients each year, allowing me to provide truly personalized care. From prenatal preparation to labor support and postpartum care, I offer evidence-based information, emotional encouragement, and practical assistance so you can make confident decisions about your birth experience.

This is about more than just having a healthy baby. Of course, a healthy baby is the primary goal—but how you feel during and after birth matters too. As your doula, I focus on nurturing both of you. I combine my knowledge of Chinese Medicine with traditional doula techniques to support your physical comfort, emotional wellbeing, and the sacred transition into parenthood.

I believe in your body's ability to birth. After witnessing the power of supported birth, I know that women are stronger than they're often led to believe. Whether you're planning an unmedicated home birth or a hospital birth with an epidural, my role is to help you feel heard, respected, and capable throughout your journey.

Your birth story deserves to be beautiful. Each birth is unique, and there's no single "right way" to bring your baby into the world. As your doula, I'm committed to supporting the birth experience that feels right for you—advocating for your preferences, helping you adapt to unexpected changes, and ensuring you feel empowered every step of the way.
