Birth is hard

– and the massive quantities of material about pregnancy and birth can be overwhelming. But…

Birth is also beautiful

As your doula, I will provide you with all of the loving, evidence based support you need- throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth – to help you achieve the healthiest and most satisfying experience possible – and find the beauty in pregnancy and birth!


Hi, how are you…

My name is Samantha. Having had the privilege of supporting hundreds of women and birthing people through their pregnancies, I am passionate about providing support and education throughout the pregnancy and birth journey.

Having personally gone through two very different birth experiences – I know first hand how the support of a professional can shape your experience for the better. Birth deserves support, and all new parents should be given the opportunity to walk into parenthood with the confidence that they can advocate for themselves and their child, and the birth that they desire.

Through prenatal education, comprehensive pregnancy and birth support, and lactation counseling I serve families through their the full pregnancy and postpartum period.
