Back Up Doulas

In the very rare event that I can not make it to a birth due to unpredictable circumstances, these are the awesome women who I have connected with to step in and support my clients. Life doesn’t always go to plan but it’s important to me that you know you will have the support you need for your birth. I want you to know you will be supported no matter what.

Claire, Stephanie, Bethany & Steffi all hold similar values and beliefs around the natural process of birth. They have completed similar training to myself either with Rhea Dempsey or DONA. I trust them wholeheartedly to give you their best should they need to step in.
