HEARTSTRINGS CONNECTED: A Virtual Option

Looking for Birth Support and Education but not finding the right fit? Perhaps one of these scenarios applies to you:

  • You are on a TIGHT BUDGET…

  • You are outside of DENVER, COLORADO, but would like support and education from me..

  • You haven’t found the right fit with a doula but want to feel EMPOWERED and SUPPORTED during this vulnerable and transformational time…

I now offer an alternative to hands-on birth doula support.

Heartstrings Connected means that even though we are not near each other physically, you can reach out to me with questions or concerns any time during your labor. Being your CHILDBIRTH EDUCATOR and then being On-Call for you during weeks 38-41 will allow you to feel like you have an ally, and have partnered with someone who has supported more than 350 births and cares about what YOU are wanting for your labor and delivery. At any time during your labor, I will be available for phone calls from you..to answer questions, process through doctors’/midwives’ suggestions, and to encourage you as you do the hard work! When women feel SAFE, LOVED, and PROTECTED, labor progresses more easily and is more enjoyable. Please reach out for details about this new option.
