About Me

Hi, I’m Valerie Woitte! I am a certified birth and postpartum doula through DONA International and Cornerstone Doula Trainings. My journey into birth work began after a successful 25-year career in administration, when I decided to follow my lifelong dream of protecting and nurturing growing families. Since 2014, I have had the honor of helping families experience the full joy of birth.

I believe every family deserves a safe, supported, and dignified birth experience. I specialize in evidence-based informational support, physical comfort measures, and continuous emotional grounding, including nurturing labor support through positioning, soothing touch, and a calm, safe environment. My postpartum care helps families settle into the early weeks with a newborn through emotional wellness check-ins, infant soothing, help with nursing and bottle feeds, bathing, and sleep. I have a deep heart for supporting teen parents and low-income families, ensuring high-quality care is accessible to all. I provide in-person birth support from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and virtual labor and delivery support from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

On a personal note, as a mother of three, my passion was born from my own experiences. I still vividly remember a nurse who held my hand and gave me the strength to labor safely, and my goal is to be that same pillar of strength, security, and warmth for every family I serve.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is centered on educating and meeting the emotional needs of each family, serving them in a way that aligns with their own choices and values. I meet each family where they are, honoring what matters most to them.

I want every family to feel safe, valued, and held in a calm, steady presence. Through reassurance, gentle care, loving touch, and comfort measures, I strive to be the nurturing presence I once needed myself, so every family feels secure and cared for throughout labor, birth, and beyond.

Overall, my goal is to help every family feel safe, valued, and supported, reassured by gentle, compassionate care every step of the way.
