While my own birth experience was unconventional due to the COVID pandemic, I was fortunate to have a Doula who supported me virtually through birth education, birth planning, and teaching me informed decision-making.
While I felt confident and ready to use the tools I learned from my Doula, my partner and I went into the birthing suite without his presence. Much of the birth plan I had laid out was unrealized. This challenging experience was magnified by my daughter's delayed diagnosis of a congenital heart defect.
My Partner and I were left to navigate a traumatic birth experience, a serious and complex hospital stay for our daughter, and the waves of complications, hurdles, and emotions that came along with it.
By facing these often complicated challenges and frequently isolating experiences, we emerged with the knowledge, strength, and a renewed voice of self-advocacy.
Informed by my own experiences during the birthing process, I focus on elevating parents' voices so that they are heard throughout the birth journey. Experienced under pressure, I will confidently guide you through this unpredictable and extraordinary time.
