As a certified birth & bereavement doula with my own loss experience, I support families through the difficult circumstances of miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, and newborn fatal diagnoses with deep compassion and respect.

My role is flexible to meet your needs and can include:
​

• Assisting you in preparing for birth and postpartum
• Continuous doula support through your birth and meeting your baby
• Pictures of your baby
• Assisting with planning and preparing keepsakes for your baby
• Helping you understand your medical options so you can make the best decisions for your family
• Helping you remember (or find) information after the blur of appointments and medical procedures
• NICU support if needed
• Providing information and supporting you non-judgmentally through the process of stopping or donating your breastmilk
• Postpartum visits as needed to provide emotional support, help you begin to process your birth and hospital stay, discuss physical healing after birth, talking about breastmilk, and other needs you may have
• Resources to help you connect with other families facing similar experiences, counseling, etc.
• Phone and in person support after neonatal or child loss

Because I have a personal understanding of the stress and unexpected expenses that come with losing a child, bereavement support is always offered on a donation basis with no obligation. Legacy donations in your baby's name are welcome, but never expected.

You can reach me through my contact form or by call/text at 612-437-8588.
