"One thing I know for sure, though, is that attending Heidi's Bradley Classes was the best thing we could have done to prepare for our three beautiful births. I gained the confidence and knowledge I needed to enter into one of the most transformative experiences of my life. What an unbelievable gift!" CM

Birth Doula Services

As your Birth Doula, my purpose is to provide you with comfort and guidance before, during and after childbirth. By teaching evidence based care and informed decision making I encourage my clients to ask questions and seek information, while trusting their bodies and the physiologic process of birth. When the time of birth nears I help to create a positive and relaxed environment so that you feel confident and at ease. I deeply respect and calmly support each mother’s individual choices throughout her birth journey. With self-confidence, a positive mindset and an encouraging and knowledgeable birth team, I believe all women can experience a positive, informed and empowered birth.
