A birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after childbirth. Unlike doctors or midwives who provide medical care, I focus on your comfort, advocacy, and emotional wellbeing. I help with comfort and breathing techniques, position changes, massage, partner coaching, and communicating with your medical team at Hartford, Yale-New Haven, or other Connecticut hospitals.

While I don't accept traditional insurance and am not in network with Husky/Medicaid. I do accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) payments. I provide detailed receipts that many families successfully submit to their insurance for reimbursement.

I happily serve families throughout Connecticut including Hartford, New Haven, and Middlesex Counties in CT and Hampshire Counties, in MA. For hospitals outside my primary service area (such as Fairfield, Litchfield, Windham Counties), there may be an additional travel fee. I regularly attend births at Uconn, Yale, Hartford, and even Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Massachusetts. If you are outside these areas, I do offer travel birthing services at an additional fee. 

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with specialized training in trauma-informed care, with additional certifications in fertility and loss, making me uniquely qualified to support anxious mothers/mom’s-to-be, those with medical trauma, or past traumatic births. I also offer, as a Reiki Master, Reiki energy healing as an optional integrative approach. With 75+ births since 2019, I bring both clinical expertise and compassionate, experienced support.
