Mama, I've got you

Meet the Doula

IMG_3296_edited.jpg

Hi new parents! I’m Cameron, and my work as a doula starts with my heart for children and families. My career as an elementary school teacher gave me the chance to build relationships with diverse groups of families over the years. I met expectant mothers afraid of birth and motherhood, and I've seen new mothers feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. I knew that with the right tools, education, and support, these women would have had different and more positive stories to tell. I wanted to do more for my families; becoming a childbirth educator and a doula was the perfect way for me to blend my skills as an educator with my passion for women having empowering birth experiences and becoming confident mothers. I truly love what I do, and my work is driven by my faith; I desire that the love of God pours through me as I support you.

As your doula, I am there to support you in all the ways that you need. Think of me as your advocate, sidekick, confidant, teacher, encourager, and more! Whether we are practicing labor positions in my Lamaze class, breathing together through your labor, or learning how to swaddle your baby, I would be truly honored to do well for you as you do well for your baby.

 

When I’m not at births, I'm running after my toddler! We welcomed him after a long journey of infertility; not only does he make everyday more special, but it makes every birth I go to that much sweeter. For my self-care time, I enjoy working out, hosting dinner parties, and always ending the day with some chocolate and a reality TV show. 

​

My services are available to all types of families, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Please reach out to me to discuss your specific needs. I'm happy to work with you!

KIND WORDS FROM CLIENTS

If you are looking for a Doula, look no further, you've come across a pot of gold. Cameron is a gem. My husband and I took 1x1 child birth classes with Cameron. Being first time parents, we didn't know much about what to expect throughout our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Cameron walked us through everything, and answered  every question we had. She made our sessions totally stress free. In fact, I'm bummed they're over, we had so much fun! I've already referred Cameron to a friend who is expecting, and she signed up. Thank you, Cameron! You've made a huge impact on our pregnancy, and we are so so thankful for you!

- Jen & Jason

Cameron stood out to me when we were interviewing doulas because of her humble confidence. She's warm, empathetic, knowledgable, organized and was able to provide exceptional guidance during an otherwise uncertain time. I immediately felt like I could trust her during such a special and important time as a new mom. 

​

Cameron made sure I was fed, rested, did my sitz baths and compassionately listened when I simply needed to talk it out. She helped us understand how to bottle feed, how to store breastmilk, etc. It was so valuable to have her guidance and recommendations. 

BIRTH SUPPORT

Breathe

The birth of your baby can be deeply transformative, but it can be difficult to navigate such an intense experience on your own. As you journey through your unique birth experience, I am there to guide you through every step. My unwavering presence during your birth will allow you to trust the process and maintain a sense of calm and focus. I offer emotional and physical support, as well as knowledge of the birth process, so you can remain in control as you make decisions that are best for you and your baby. My compassionate, kind, and non-judgmental approach means that I am always on your team- I believe every woman has the ability to know her body and trust her instincts, and I am there to hold your hand (literally!) as you have the birth that you were meant to have.

My birth support includes:

  • 3 prenatal visits to prepare for labor, create your birth plan, share resources, practice comfort measures, and plan for postpartum

  • Phone/e-mail support during pregnancy to answer your questions and be your pregnancy companion

  • Being on call for you 24/7 in the weeks surrounding your birth

  • Continuous in-person support during your labor and delivery

  • Assisting with comfort measures such as breathing, positions, massage, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, and verbal encouragement during your birth

  • Empowering you to engage in shared-decision making with your care providers

  • Supporting your wishes in birth helping you advocate for your birth plan

  • A follow-up postpartum visit to check-in with you and your baby
