I find happiness in helping new mothers build confidence by passing on the secrets that I have learned over time and through my training.

I work hard to help my clients find courage to discover different ways to nurture and parent their baby’s that work for them. Kindness, encouragement and empowerment are at the core of how I serve my clients. Outside of doula life, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two dogs, and two adult children. I love to garden and care for my houseplants and orchids.

CERTIFICATIONS & TRAINING

I began serving families 11 years ago, and certified as a birth and postpartum doula with Prodoula. I am also CPR and TENS unit certified!

β€œDeb was my doula during the birth of our baby boy!

She provided support not only to me, but my family as well. She was able to assist in the painful times and celebrate with us in the joyful times. She was supportive and a great person to have during such a momentous time in my life.” -Angel
