About Me

Hi, I’m Chelsea! My doula work is based on a foundation of strong trust in intuition, deep respect for the human body, and a firm belief in the tenacity of the human spirit, and this work is truly my calling. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in the way that makes the most sense for their needs. My goal for every birth is for each family to feel respected and supported in their decisions, and to help manage any discomfort or frustration as it occurs. In postpartum, I aim to make the hardest parts easier so families can enjoy the best parts to the fullest.

On a personal note, when I am not at a birth or postpartum job, I love to read cozy fantasy novels, crochet, bake, sew, garden, embroider, and go camping with my family. How a family gives birth matters, and while medical staff are there to manage the medical outcome, my goal is to be there to hold their hand on their emotional journey.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in listening closely to each family and their needs. I believe in education where it is wanted and appropriate, and I believe that parenthood is both the most beautiful and sometimes the most difficult thing a person can do.

Overall, my goal is to help every family feel that the journey can be made much easier by a strong, well-placed support system.
