Love in Labor

Doula

I am a Certified Holistic Birth Doula through DONA IIMG_5104 international and the Matrone and trained with a Spinning Babies specialist. I live in beautiful, Northern California, in Sonoma County in Santa Rosa. I am married to the love of my life and the mother of 3 beautiful, amazing, smart, funny, wonderful children (1 girl and 2 boys) I love animals, art, food, laughter, dance and nature in general, especially the beach or Redwoods! I am fortunate to have amazing, loving, supportive friends and count my blessings daily. I live in Love and Happiness and embrace life to the fullest.

When I was pregnant with my first child, I knew I wanted to have a natural birth, but looking back now, I realize how little I knew about the nature of childbirth. How it is about trusting in yourself and knowing it is an intuitive process.I watched all the Birth Stories on television, every video I could get my hands on and read every birth book on the bookstore shelves. I followed my baby’s progress and knew everything there was to know! or so I thought While I thought I had prepared myself academically and new the physical nature of birth was going to be “labored” I wasn’t prepared emotionally. My daughter decided to come 3 weeks early so all I thought I knew went out the window and I was left to the mercy of the Doctors involved. Read more

    Becca was the first and only doula we met with because from our very first meeting, I felt so much love and warmth from her that I didn't want to go with anyone else.

    I'm not sure I can put into words just how grateful and blessed we feel to have had Becca as our doula. I didn't know what a doula was before I got pregnant and then my sister in law had one and she convinced me to look into it. Of course we looked up plenty in the Santa Rosa area and I interviewed a lot of wonderful women but the feeling that we had when we left the interview with Becca really sealed the deal. ...

    Becca is truly a blessing in my life. My pregnancy, labor and deliver were all perfectly normal physically, but I was a wreck emotionally. When the time came, my very unsupportive and absent (ex)boyfriend was doing nothing to help but stress me out. Becca was there for me, going above and beyond what I expected of her. I attribute my very positive birth experience to her loving care. She knew all the right things to say and had helpful advice and positions, massage, and soothing hands to help me throughout my labor. ...
