About me
My Academic Achievements
My Story

As a doula, I see my role as primarily providing important emotional, physical and spiritual preparation for birth. I am also a resource to the women and families I work with by helping navigate medical terminology, protocols and systems, while inspiring trust in a woman’s ability to Birth.I embrace your vision for birth.
My path as a support provider in birth began years ago, while I was pregnant with my own child, before I even knew what the word Doula meant. It was trial by fire, but seeing birth from the other side was both shocking and healing. I did not know that my births, which to that point had felt isolating and traumatic to me, were the cultural norm. I did not know that I had choices in the way I planned to birth. After attending several births I was eager to share about my experiences helping women feel more in control of their births.I have 3 kids, to birth experiences.I have  a variety of birth experiences with my
 own children. All have contributed to my passion and understanding of how different birth can be for each individual. I believe that pregnancy and birth is a sacred time to be cherished and protected. I speak great English and Hindi. I have over 32 years of experience as being a parent and 7 years of Specialized Postpartum Doula experience.Would be a privilege to serve you as you become a new family. 

 

 

      My Philosophy of Practice

I believe that birth is a normal physiological process and an important journey in a mother and father’s / partner’s life.

I will support you during your pregnancy, labor and postpartum period, in whatever choices you make.

I will provide information, education and resources to enable you to make informed choices.

I will remain up to date on current research linked to birth related issues.

I will maintain complete confidentiality of all details relating to your pregnancy and birth.

I will strive to support you during labor to effect a positive birth experience for the entire family.

I do provide physical, emotional and educational support throughout our entire contract, prenatal, labor and postpartum.

As I am independent and self-employed, I will be working for you, not your care provider or hospital.

I do not perform clinical tasks such as blood pressure or fetal heart rate monitoring.

And many more.......
