A doula is a professional trained in childbirth to advise, inform, and provide physical, mental, emotional and spiritual support to a mama throughout her pregnancy until after she gives birth.
"A skilled doula empowers a woman to communicate her needs and perceptions and actualize her dream of a healthy, positive birth experience."
My love for birth and calling to be a doula came shortly after my first pregnancy with my daughter, River. Ever since then, I have been so passionate about being a doula! My approach to doula work is rooted in the fact that I believe every mama should feel heard and empowered wherever she chooses to give birth.
When I'm not doing birth-y things, you might find me hangin' out with my wonderful husband, chasing down my two kiddos, taking pictures, or spending time at the beach.

As a husband trying to do something, ANYTHING, to be helpful, Haley was a Godsend. She took physical assistance and coaching off my plate, allowing me to support my wife, use the restroom, drink some water and rest my back that had started flaring up. Haley took control of a room full of medical staff with confidence and competency, facilitating peace, purpose and progress. She advocated for us and adviced us perfectly, leading to an awesome birth experience for both my wife and I.
I had the privilege of booking my birth doula services with Haley. I decided early in my pregnancy that I wanted to have an unmedicated VBA2C in a hospital and I am SO happy that I had Haley by my side to do that. From first meeting Haley, my husband and I could tell how passionate she is about what she does. It stood out to us how easy and comfortable you feel around her right away. Not only was she very supportive of any choice I wanted to make, she was right there with me throughout my pregnancy. I could text her about any thoughts or questions I was having and she was a great resource. Haley is a ray of sunshine. She really radiates encouragement and capability. If you're looking for someone who will be your ultimate cheerleader, Haley is your girl! Although the nurses and doctor were great, it was so grounding and reassuring to have someone familiar there who knew exactly what was happening. She also took amazing photos of the birth that I will cherish forever and, even though we discussed it ahead of time, I didn't even realize she was taking them. Haley is one of the warmest souls I have had the pleasure of knowing and I am so happy she helped me bring my baby girl into the world. She was also very vocal with my nurses and hands-on during the contractions providing counter pressure and words of encouragement. I will certainly bring her into any future pregnancy and birth I have! Thank you, Haley!
