The Peace Within Her

What is a Holistic Birth Doula?

A "Doula" is a woman who serves as an advocate to the mother and baby during pregnancy, labor, and birth.  What makes a Holistic Doula special is she is trained to use tools like Essential Oils, Bach Flower Remedies, Reflexology, Homeopathics, Herbs and Massage to help you find comfort during your pregnancy and labor.

     There are many elements to birth; Mental, Spiritual, Emotional and of course, Physical.  Having a Holistic Doula means hiring someone who can assist in all of these areas.  Her presence often brings an undeniable change to the entire room. Peacefulness, confidence, compassion, knowledge and her full attention are just a few of the common experiences she offers.

      Doulas believe that any woman who chooses to give birth naturally has the ability within her, and should be supported in her desire to do so.  Whether she chooses to birth at home or in a hospital, a Holistic Doula brings peace to any environment.  The main goal is to empower mom to make choices that feel right for her and her family and to provide  tools for giving birth naturally and peacefully.


Holistic Birth Doula + Naturopath = Total Care


A "Naturopath" is a person that uses a more natural approach to health and wellness.  Some of the different practices used by someone in this field may include:

Nutrition Counseling is an area where we can look at all the ways to support their growing baby while maintaining mom's own healthy vitality.

Reflexology works with the nerve system of the entire body while working through the hands and feet.  It is known to aide some of the more unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy like morning sickness, constipation and low back pain.

Body Work which encompasses specific types of massage techniques that help you find comfort as your body is changing.  Other modalities like Light Healing Touch, Cranial Sacral Therapy and Energy Work are soon to be added to my list of services.
