About Me

Hi, I'm Valarie. My journey into the birth world began through my own experiences as a mother. The three births of my children were each profoundly different, a cesarean section, a VBAC in the hospital, and a home birth, and each one was transformative. Those experiences ignited a deep and lasting passion for supporting other families through the beauty and complexity of birth. Over the past three years, I have pursued professional doula training, attended births, and served as a breastfeeding volunteer counselor. Before stepping fully into doula work, I spent many years as a preschool teacher, director, and parent educator, roles that deepened my ability to meet families where they are and create spaces where people feel safe, informed, and empowered.

I believe birth is one of the greatest growth experiences of a person's life. Just as your body knows how to grow and nurture your baby over nine months, it also knows how to give birth. My goal is to help you tap into that innate wisdom, through education, preparation, and steady, compassionate support that allows you to let go and trust yourself fully. I believe that everyone who wants or is curious about having a doula deserves access to that support, and that continuous, caring presence can truly transform how you feel about and experience the birth of your baby.

The postpartum period is just as sacred and deserving of care as birth itself. Having dedicated support during your postpartum weeks allows you the space to rest, heal, and bond deeply with your new baby without feeling like you have to do it all alone. Whether you are preparing for birth or settling into life with a newborn, I am here to walk alongside you with knowledge, heart, and an unwavering commitment to your well-being. I look forward to supporting you and your family through this incredible chapter.
