doula support
Every wave you ride, every sway of your hips, every decision you make, every roar you release…every part of you is capable. Completely and totally capable. In the moments when you feel overwhelmed, or when the intensity of labor makes you feel wild and out of control, I’ll be there to ground you. To bring you back to center, and whisper in your ear that you have the power you need within you. I’ll look you in the eye, help you to slow your breathing, and remind you of your strength.
Birthing our children is one of most intense, life-changing things we will ever do. You deserve unending support through that journey. I'm here to walk alongside of you, every step of the way.
Starting my career as a birth photographer, I got a valuable, front-row education in doula work by witnessing and documenting dozens of doula-supported births. I trained as a doula through Birth Arts International in 2018 and I knew that adding this hands-on support was exactly where my heart was leading me. I am also certified with Stillbirthday and have trained to support clients using Hypnobirthing and Hypnobabies relaxation techniques.
During your pregnancy, I am here to support you, connect you with resources, help you make your birth plans, and answer all your “Is this normal??” questions that you may have! I’m a sounding board to listen to your excitement, your fears, and all your feelings about bringing a baby into the world. During your labor and birth, I’m there for you, attending to your every need. (And making sure your partner is at ease, too!) I can help with labor positions, comfort measures, decision making, and so much more. I’ll always be on your side. No matter what twists and turns your pregnancy and birth may take, I’m ready to help you navigate the changes and cheer you on!

“The prenatal along with labor and delivery doula services provided by Dallas made my husband and I feel much more comfortable and confident during our first pregnancy and birthing. The hospital team was shocked at how swift and calm our ‘textbook’ delivery progressed. The full labor of 8 hours and 45 minutes including a miraculous 10 minutes of pushing, went so quickly primarily because we had Dallas’ input along the way. Her recommendations for chiropractic care and Spinning Babies inversion exercises aligned my pelvis and positioned our baby girl properly. The Hypnobirthing positive affirmation tracks she lent me washed over me through the ebb and flow of pressure waves. Dallas coached my husband on how they could jointly provide optimal counter pressure to each contraction while maintaining eye contact with me during my breath work to keep my anxiety at bay. Her knowledge and resources equipped us to know what to ask, better understand our options and kept us focused on the next position change ‘after the next contraction.’ Whatever your birth preference – she will do her very best to help you prepare to not only endure but thrive at achieving a safe and healthy birth. Best partnership investment for a smooth, low stress pregnancy and birthing!”
