Hi! My name is Brooke and I’m a DONA trained birth doula serving central Pennsylvania!

I have two beautiful daughters of my own and believe everyone deserves to have an amazing birth experience!

I love empowering parents throughout their pregnancies, birth and beyond!

 What is a doula? 

Never heard of a doula? Well, the literal Greek definition is “a woman who serves”. Think of it as a trained, professional support person. There are actually many kinds of doulas but my training is specifically in birth. So, I am there throughout your entire labor and delivery with the main goals of making sure your voice is heard, your needs are met, and to make sure you never feel scared, confused or out of control. Because after all, this is YOUR birth story, and the precious memories of this day will hold a special place in your heart forever.

Why hire a doula?

  • Lower chance of Cesarean

  • Higher chance of spontaneous vaginal birth

  • Fewer medical interventions (induction, epidural, medication pain relief, etc.)

  • Shorter labor

  • Less chance of baby having decreased APGAR score five minutes after birth

  • Increased chance of a birth you are proud of and satisfied with

My Philosophy

I believe every family deserves to have a doula attend their birth! I also recognize that every family’s needs are different. Therefore, I try to be flexible and make each contract as customizable as possible to fit every family’s unique situation!

By hiring me, you’re opening up your world at a very vulnerable time in your life. It is an honor just to attend such a beautiful moment. And I’m there to help make the experience stay as special as you always envisioned it would be. I’m not there to try and influence your decisions about how I think your birth should go. My job is to make sure you get the experience you want and deserve whether that be 100% natural, 100% medicalized, or somewhere in between, offering any advice and knowledge you ask of me along the way.

That’s what I love most about birth! There are endless possibilities of how it can go, but no matter how it unfolds, it is always beautiful and memorable!
