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.

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!
Haley was amazing!!! I requested a doula super last minute, but she came in the middle of the night and I met her for the first time at the hospital. I felt so comfortable with her instantly! My husband desperately needed a break (even though he wasn't the one with contractions haha), so I leaned all my weight on Haley during contractions and got to know her more during the breaks. She's so sweet while also being firm with the nurses when I needed something. She constantly kept me hydrated and comfortable. I originally wanted an all natural birth, but labor was long and I was exhausted so I decided to get the epidural. She had no judgment at all! Just asked me questions to make sure my wishes were kept. Even when my husband and MIL fell asleep, she stayed awake and by my side the entire time. She also took photos throughout labor and afterwards, and they are priceless! I couldn't be happier with my doula experience! Thank you Haley!
