Practice overview
I have always been interested in birth, and how life is brought into this world. With a long background in Nannying and child care, I have experience in all aspects of caring for newborns and assisting families with the utmost love and respect. I was trained with Dona international in childbirth and breastfeeding education, learning all aspects of doula care and evidence based information. Whether it is in the hospital, birth center, or at home, I can help create a nurturing and calm environment to uplift and empower the birth person. In prenatal appointments and throughout the birth I can provide gentle massage, belly sifting, position changing, tens unit support, aroma therapy, guided meditation, reiki healing, cold and hot compresses, and physical/mental support to aid in pain management and provide an uplifting environment. These tools coupled with evidence based information and full emotional support, will be used to ease tension and empower the birth experience.

August 8, 2023 at 12:28 am | Client reviewI cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Natalie. My husband and I were having our first child, and both have little to no experience with the process of pregnancy, and babies in general. Natalie gave us the knowledge we needed to better understand the birthing process, and answered every question we had along the way with patience, kindness, and options so that we could make the experience our own. During labor – she was loving, kind, and calm, which helped my husband and I to relax throughout the long 62 hours of labor! Having Natalie by my side, before, during, and after labor gave me the peace of mind I needed, so I could focus on being a mom. We really cannot imagine what the whole experience would have been without her, and we are forever grateful!

She asked me what my needs were and she cater to those her soothing voice was just what I needed when I was going through my contractions. And she was surprisingly strong enough to help me up. I would recommend Natalie to any expecting mother even my midwives who met her, loved her and said she was very nice. She showed a lot of love and care towards my newborn and I really appreciate it that. So if you’re thinking about having Natalie as a Doula, that would be a great choice, I recommend it!
