    Care philosophy

    I am passionate in emotionally preparing my clients for labor and life after with a newborn. There is plenty of physical prep to do too but I think mental health is overlooked a lot and it's such an important aspect of birth! My goal is to educate moms, inspire moms and empowering them to use their voice and plan for the birth THEY want!! I also love to incorporate birth photography

      Bethany’s services were great but starting late into my pregnancy I didn’t get to enjoy the full experience . She is kind and becomes part of your family.

      I had the pleasure of working with Bethany for my first birth. I love learning and preparing and Bethany was a wealth of information and wisdom for everything pre and postnatal along with labor and delivery! I went into birth with no fears or unanswered questions. My birth experience was met with true medical emergencies and Bethany was a source of peace and comfort. Bethany walked along side me as I grieved not having the birth experience I had planned and helped me to celebrate the ways in which my body safely carried my baby earth side. I am now expecting again and the moment I got a positive pregnancy test I messaged Bethany to hire her once again to be my encourager, educator, confidant, and in turn, friend, throughout this next pregnancy and post partum period. I cannot recommend Bethany’s services enough!

      Bethany is a dedicated Doula, always ready and willing to lend a listening ear, provide support and advice and advocate. Her thorough knowledge and expertise in the field of motherhood is so helpful during a time that can bring a lot of anxiety. She provides abundant resources to support each stage of pregnancy before and after baby arrives.

      Bethany was so incredible to have be apart of my birth experience. She worked with me throughout the pregnancy to educate me, go over my birth plan, and be an emotional support. She labored with me at home before we made it to the birth center. She made me feel safe and helped support my husband while he also supported me. She was there for the birth of my very son. Bethany is a huge reason i was able to follow through with my birth plan and have the birth experience i wanted. She was there for me throughout the postpartum period and I’ll never forget that.

      I am very grateful to have received Bethany’s Doula services for my first pregnancy. She provided me with a wealth of resources and went out of her way to do extra research and adapt her services to my individual pregnancy, labor, and postpartum needs. I felt incredibly seen and supported by her and would work with her again in a heartbeat.
