Birth is a wild and magical ride. Doulas are available for everything from emotionally holding space, to physically holding you through contractions. As your birth doula I will advocate for your birth choices and support however your unique birth unfolds. Day or night, in person or by phone I will be your consistent 3rd party support to help you (and your partner) through pregnancy, birth and immediate postpartum.
In Person Birthing Classes Available!
This birthing course is specifically designed for Trans and/or Queer identified families. It combines elements of childbirth education and inner resourcing so that you can be knowledgeable about what to expect in your birth and have the resilience to manage changes.
Over 2 days we connect on Anatomy of Pregnancy/Birth, Stages of Labor, Comfort Management Techniques, Positions, Medical Options & Interventions, Birth Partner Support and more. In addition to being more resourced through information, I hope a small community can be created within the classes, creating friendship as an additional resource in your upcoming parenting journey!

“Axis’ presence helped me have confidence and stamina as a birth partner to my wife's process. They supported all of us to be steady in spirit and body as we moved towards birth in our home together. I counted on J's experience and devotion to bolster me during moments of doubt and exhaustion. Jtaught me so much about how to inhabit my own body to support my wife and our baby during birth and beyond. I am so grateful that they were part of our birth team."

**COVID-19 Doula Support
I believe that now more than ever folks need the consistent support of a third party whether by phone/video call or in-person. While the policies in hospitals might continue to shift, my commitment to being available for your birth is unwavering. Right now this looks like virtual consultations for new clients as well as in person support at births (where hospitals allow). I am constantly keeping a watchful eye on the ever-shifting COVID situation. In response to COVID I have also created virtual support options as well as online birth education for folks exploring doula care under the current public health crisis. My virtual doula services are a great way to have consistent support throughout your pregnancy and continuing through your birth & postpartum period.
