A Note about Doula Services & COVID-19

During these difficult – and distancing – times, I want to reassure all the families who seek my care that I'm still 100% here for you. I'm doing everything in my power to stay safe myself, and to continue offering families the same superior care I've always provided. I am vaccinated and boosted. I continue to mask in public and when I am with clients.

If you have questions or concerns about this, I completely understand – we're all living through this for the first time! – and I'm open to strategizing ways to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible. Above all, I want to be of value to your family, and I'm so grateful for your continued trust in me!

Biggest (virtual) hugs!
