FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What type of education and qualifications do you have?
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in nursing (BSN) and my MBA. I have been a registered nurse for 12 years and specialized in labor and delivery for the last 10 years. I received DONA approved labor doula training and am working towards certification. I am also a certified functional nutrition counselor, soul care provider, and life coach. I am also currently working towards my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am BLS, NRP, and ACLS certified. I am an avid learner and love to provide exceptional care for those I work with.
What are the benefits of hiring a doula?
Some of the most recent studies have shown the following benefits of working with a doula during the pregnancy and birth experience.
- 25% decrease in the risk of Cesarean; the largest effect was seen with a doula (39% decrease)*
- 8% increase in the likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal birth; the largest effect was seen with a doula (15% increase)*
- 10% decrease in the use of any medications for pain relief; the type of person providing continuous support did not make a difference
- Shorter labors by 41 minutes on average; there is no data on if the type of person providing continuous support makes a difference
- 38% decrease in the baby’s risk of a low five minute Apgar score; there is no data on if the type of person providing continuous support makes a difference
- 31% decrease in the risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience; mothers’ risk of being dissatisfied with the birth experience was reduced with continuous support provided by a doula or someone in their social network (family or friend), but not hospital staff
Do you only work with Christians?
I am someone who absolutely loves God, but I am able to work with people of various backgrounds and cultures. My calling as a doula is to help women feel loved and cared for throughout their journey and to help bring life into the earth in a way that is full of wonder and awe.
Why did you choose to become a doula after years of being a labor and delivery nurse?
I have had the pleasure of working with women and families as a labor and delivery nurse for 10 years. I am the mother of 3 children and was led to have a home birth for my last child. I was also going through a divorce during this pregnancy and had the wonderful opportunity to have a doula by my side. I birthed both of my 2 older children in the hospital before I was a labor nurse and even though I had 10 years of labor experience with my last child, I learned so much. I want to serve women at a greater capacity during this journey and hope that they feel as loved and seen as I did with the care of my doula. I want to educate and advocate for exceptional maternal care and wholeness for women and their future generations.
