Pregnancy loss is extremely common in our society, yet there is next to no support system for those experiencing it.

Emotional Support
Entering space to support clients without assumptions is an essential part of doula'ing. I understand the ending of a pregnancy can mean many different things for everyone, many emotions or not many at all. I will be there for those hard dark questions, the emotional undertaking of moving through an end of a pregnancy, but most importantly unwavering encouragement and reassurance.
