Please note: In 2024, I am only supporting repeat clients and home births.  This aligns with my desire to be more available for my own family. 

Savor it Studios Birth Philosophy

Pregnant people want to feel respected, listened to and supported. During this very special, yet vulnerable time, birthers do best when they are surrounded by those who trust in the natural process of birth, who believe in their bodies and help them to believe in themselves. I wholeheartedly support your ideal birth scenario of choice, and will assume your goals as my own. I value and appreciate medical interventions when medically necessary.  I will always believe in trusting in nature, and beginning with a natural, holistic or intuitive approach. But above all I believe birth is TRANSFORMATIVE in all its variations. Without judgment, I will support you and your partner through the birthing process so you can begin your parenting journey firmly rooted in your own knowledge and trusting your own decisions.

As your doula, I am a trained professional who understands and trusts the process of birth, who respects its transcendent and sacred aspects as well as its physical and emotional aspects, and who facilitates the birth experience for the parent(s) and baby.

To make easier, to ease, to smooth, to explain, to simplify; but also to empower, to allow, and to clear the way.
