As your doula, I commit to showing up for you in the most authentic, present and compassionate way I can. Together, we’ll explore your birth preferences, core values and fears. We’ll practice mindfulness and breath awareness techniques and call in all of the elements that will make you feel safe in your birth space. My packages emphasize drawing on holistic modalities to prepare for your birth and postpartum experience. 

Whether you choose to birth at home, a birthing center, or the hospital, I'll be there to help you tap into your intuition and strength.

 

 I promise to hold your hand during labor while reminding you of your strength and ability to move like the moon— navigating the darkness to bring your baby to the light.

Rotating Info

“I was so happy with my birth experience, and Lenore was such a huge part of that. As a single mother by choice, I knew I wanted a doula with me for my hospital delivery to help support me through the experience. When I spoke with Lenore by phone, I knew immediately that she was the doula for me! Her direct, practical, but loving style made me trust her immediately. She was a great support before the birth, helping me to think through my birth plan and what preparations to make ahead of time before baby came, and recommending great resources. Then during my labor and delivery...let’s just say there is no way I could have done it without her! I wanted to do a natural birth, but wasn’t sure if, when it came right down to it, I would be able to go through with it. But with Lenore by my side coaching me on breathing and vocalizing, offering emotional support, massaging me (and using that amazing TENS unit!), moving through the experience without drugs just felt like the most natural and obvious thing to do. It was still really hard, but with Lenore’s support it felt like a challenge that I was capable of rising to. Lenore was like a combination of a coach and a friend for me during my overall birth process, and I am so thankful that she was a part of it!”

“Lenore was a blessing. This was our third pregnancy and honestly, I was pretty confident I could support my wife. Lenore made the event magical. She knew how to respond to every one of my wife’s actions. At the slightest sign of discomfort, Lenore would jump into action to soothe and support my wife. We had decided to hire a doula only weeks before the birth as a back up because I thought I could do it on my own. Once speaking with Lenore it felt only right to have her involved in the birth. She fit right into the family and there were zero awkward moments. I couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking to give birth naturally. Coming from a stubborn man, trust me you can't go wrong!”

“We liked her immediately. She was so warm and friendly. Lenore has a way about her that's disarming, tender, kind-hearted and instantly likable. Lenore came to my place when contractions began and helped me through them in the comfort of my bedroom. She massaged my back for hours and did wonders for my back labor. Having her with us helped us go into the rest of the labor as prepared as we could be. I was so happy to have her there. I couldn't imagine going through what I went through without her.
With this being our first baby, we had no idea what to expect. Having someone like Lenore on your side, knowing what to do and being your advocate can only improve your experience. We are so happy to have met her and would recommend her to anyone, first baby or 10th!.”
