Hi! My name is Brooke and I’m a DONA certified birth doula that travels all over Central Pennsylvania helping parents feel confident, empowered, and well-supported throughout their pregnancies, birth and beyond!
I have two beautiful daughters of my own and believe the difference between having a doula support your birth and not is like night and day!
What is the difference between a doula and a midwife?
A doula is a non-medical support person trained to provide evidence-based emotional and physical support for expecting parents before, during and after the birth of their baby. A midwife is a medical professional, similar to an obstetrician, that catches babies at births, checks vitals, performs clinical exams, orders labs and tests, and can diagnosis and treat pregnancy and delivery complications.
Benefits of Investing in Doula Support
My Philosophy
I believe every family deserves to have a doula support 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. My job is to make sure you have the tools to get the experience you want and deserve whether that be 100% natural, 100% medicalized, or somewhere in between, providing 100% evidence-based, kind, compassionate care along the way.
What I love most about birth is that there are endless possibilities of how it can go, but no matter how it unfolds, it is always beautiful and memorable!
