FIND STRENGTH AND WISDOM ON YOUR WAY TO MOTHERHOOD
Bay Area Doula Services
My role as a doula is to help women find strength and wisdom within on their way to motherhood. I believe, that proper guidance and gentle assistance can help a woman discover her intuition and believe in the abilities of her body. Knowledge and strength leave no place for uncertainty and fear. Thus, women who have support of doula, result in a more pleasant, mindful and safe birth. A birth where mothers build a powerful connection with their baby and carry this bond throughout their lives.
