Evidence-based, caring, individualized support and education for every step from bump to baby to the 4th trimester.

All about the joy!

Hey there! I'm Doula Dana, a loving and supportive doula who believes every birth journey should feel empowered because you have been able to prepare for how you want to give birth and are also aware that baby’s part in this birth is to be honored.

You are co-creating this experience with baby.

If you’ve given birth before, maybe you’re here because you want to make sure something doesn’t get repeated OR definitely does get repeated. Maybe you have had the realization that you have a lot more choice than you thought you did. If so, we have a lot to talk about!

If you’ve never given birth before, this is the perfect time to understand your many options available before labor and during labor, no matter where you choose to give birth. The sooner the better in your pregnancy, but even if you’re at 40 weeks, there is much you can still do to help baby arrive safely and beautifully.

Let’s start with a chat!

I asked Dana to be my doula only a week before I gave birth, so I didn’t have time to meet her in person before that. I was amazed at how immediately comfortable I was around her. She really knows her stuff and brought all the things to help with a natural birth.

Despite having to divert to Plan B when I had to be induced, she helped me to still have the natural birth that I wanted. She was really good at advocating for all my wishes with hospital staff while also being kind and respectful, which was really important to me. Thank you, Dana!”

As a mom of five, I have experienced childbirth in five very different ways, from a hospital induction to a home birth/water birth. My choices were what made me feel the safest, depending on what was happening in the pregnancy.

You have choices, too! So many. What is important to you?

Birth can be a beautiful, sacred, and empowering experience which can unfold in ways that will transform you as a woman and mother.

In my childbirth education classes, BirthWorks International’s philosophy guides me as your doula and educator:

BirthWorks is a process, not a method. Birthworks seeks to facilitate each person’s childbearing process, not to impart a preconceived method of labor and delivery.
