Is birth just another day?
Hi, I'm Georgia. I became a doula because I love birth and I'm enthusiastic about supporting families through it. Your baby's birthday is not just another day. Birth changes you, and how you're supported through it shapes how you carry this experience into motherhood.
I'm here to protect the memory of your birth and support your transition into parenthood. I do this through:
Grounded presence
I'm trained and comfortable with birth. I know the sights, sounds, and intensity are normal, and my grounded presence will help you trust that what's happening is normal for you too.
Hands-on comfort
I teach partners comfort techniques so you work as a team, but birth is long and partners need breaks too. I step in so they can rest and be present. I bring tools and have training in positioning and counterpressure.
Emotional support
I believe your experience giving birth matters. I make sure you're heard, help you understand your choices, and remind you of your strength when labor gets hard.
I work from a foundation of trust. I trust in your body's ability to birth and trust in your choices about how you want that to happen.
How I Support You
Two Prenatal Visits
We'll meet twice before your birth to get to know each other and prepare for labor. These sessions are hands-on! We'll practice breathing techniques, movement, and positioning. Birth partners are welcome and encouraged; we'll work on counterpressure and support techniques together.
Happy Birthday, Baby!
I'll be with you continuously from active labor through the first hours after birth. I provide hands-on comfort measures, help you change positions, keep you hydrated, and support you and your partner through each stage.
Two Postpartum Visits
We'll meet twice in the weeks after birth to check in on how you're doing, physically and emotionally. We'll talk through your birth, answer questions about feeding, and support your adjustment to life with your baby.
Georgia supported me after my son was born. I really needed the help and she came through even when I called her to help with little notice. I highly recommend her for a doula.
Pricing
Includes prenatal visits, continuous labor support, and postpartum care. Payment plans available.
Finances should not keep you from having support. I offer sliding scale pricing based on need. Please reach out and we can find what works.
