Gingersnaps, The Empowering Doula was founded to give expecting mothers a voice. We live in an age where pregnancy & birth is manufactured with set guidelines and protocols. Mothers may ask questions and receive answers, such as “because it’s protocol”, with no real supporting evidence mothers find their selves just going with the flow. With Gingersnaps by your side, I will ensure that every expecting mother nonmedical needs are met, while enhancing communication & understanding between the collaborative healthcare team. I will also provide evidence-based information to assist mothers with informed decision making. A woman’s body is wonderfully made for childbirth. Mom’s remember you are unique! Together, we will debunk myths of childbirth allowing every mother to overcome fear and gain confidence in her body. My goal is to maintain the normalcy of childbirth through education, continuous reassurance, comfort, encouragement, respect and love.
