You need someone you're completely comfortable with—someone who can support you through contractions, help you communicate what you need when you're in the intensity of labor, and won't step outside their scope of practice.
What if your doula could also help prepare your body for birth through months of specialized pregnancy massage?

"Knowing Meredith was a doula made it even more credible for me."
Your support doesn't end when baby arrives. Postpartum massage helps your body recover while you process your birth experience with someone who was there through the whole journey.
Postpartum Support That Continues the Care
When you go into labor, you'll have someone who knows exactly how your body responds and can provide hands-on comfort through contractions—counter pressure, positioning, breathing support—that most doulas can only talk you through.
Enhanced Doula Support During Birth
This isn't just pregnancy massage—it's birth preparation. Every session helps build the muscle flexibility, nervous system regulation, and body awareness that make labor more manageable. Plus, you're building deep comfort with the person who'll be supporting you through contractions.
Pregnancy Massage That Prepares Your Body for Birth
The only doula who combines 15 years of specialized pregnancy massage with traditional birth support—so your body is prepared and you're completely comfortable with the person supporting you through labor.

Licensed Massage Therapist & Certified Birth Doula
Doulas are there for YOU as you labor, supporting your physical and emotional needs. I combine traditional birth doula support with my 15+ years of massage therapy expertise to provide safe, hands-on relief during contractions, help you find positions that feel good, and support your nervous system through the intensity.
The level of comfort we’ll build through months of pregnancy massage creates the trust you need to communicate anything during labor, even when you can barely speak.
