Mother & Doula
As a mother, I have a deep understanding of the intuitive divinity that overtakes a laboring woman. I have had a doula by my side during the birth of both of my children and felt deeply the impact of their presence.
As a birth doula, my duty and passion are to guide and support women on their spiritual journey through labor and birth, so that they may have an experience guided by light - an experience that will open their heart. An experience that will lead them gracefully and gently into motherhood. Remembering to always respect and listen to the preferences, desires, and concerns of all women. I will draw upon my knowledge, experience and spirit to offer emotional support, physical comfort, and guidance towards the birth she deserves.
As a loss doula, Having had experienced a loss myself, I feel an ancient calling within to lend a warm touch, a soft embrace and gentle guidance through difficult emotions, stages of grief, healing and acceptance. For more information on what I offer as a loss doula, please email me at irisbirthdoula@gmail.com

How it all began…
I have always felt a deep understanding of healing and what it means to all of us, especially women. My call to birth work started in 2019 when I first found out I was pregnant…
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
