“Birth is not only about making babies.
Birth is about making mothers: strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.” Barbara Katz-Rothman
What Do You Get When You Choose Kali As Your Doula?
An Experienced Doula
I have served pregnant women for over twelve years, and I have attended over 180 births. I have experience serving mamas who have had fertility issues, mood disorders, VBACS, inductions, cesareans, malpositioned babies, waterbirths, twins, very short labors, very long labors…all sorts of birth situations!
A Supportive Doula
My role as your doula is to support you in your pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum time, no matter your choices. While many of my clients do aim for natural births, I also support women who choose to get epidural or other pharmaceutical pain medications. I support women who choose inductions, cesareans, waterbirths, and VBACs; I support breastfeeding and formula-feeding moms, and hospital or homebirth clients. I can offer assistance if you need help understanding both the pros and cons of each scenario, but I will stand by you in whatever decisions you make.
An Exclusive Doula
Although I have good relationships with many area midwives and OBs, I work only for you and your partner, not for an OB, midwife, or hospital. This ensures that I have YOUR best interests in mind. If your birthing location changes (such as a transport from home to hospital), I go with you; you are not left alone. I only take 2-3 clients a month so that I have to best chance of attending your birth.
A Reliable Doula
I try to provide a backup doula who I trust professionally. I will get ready to leave when you tell me to come. I won’t leave you alone unless you ask me.
