A bit about me:
I have supported over 85 births in hospitals, birthing centers and at home. I am certified by Doulas of North America (DONA) and am listed on their website at www.DONA.org. You can find me and see Testimonials written by past clients at www.DoulaMatch.net .
I am a certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator having completed my training with Marie Mongan, founder of this program. The HypnoBirthing® method will teach you breathing and relaxation techniques that will assist you in having a calm, easy birth. Click on the tab for My Services for group class schedules. For more information go to www.HypnoBirthing.com.
Good support is very important in obtaining the best birth experience and memory possible for you. I am committed to providing you with information, continuous emotional and physical support during your labor and birth. I will help you with your Birth Wishes and answer any questions that you may have and suggest resources or referrals, if needed. We will work together to find the comfort measures that work for you.
Birth doula services are beginning to be partially covered by some insurance providers. I will be happy to help you complete the necessary paperwork.
In addition to birth and post partum doula services, I am available for private or group Childbirth Education, HypnoBirthing® or Comfort Measures classes. Private classes can be taught at your home at a time that is convenient for you.

What is a doula?
The word doula comes from the Greek word meaning "woman caregiver." The word is now used to describe a trained labor companion who provides the woman and her partner continuous emotional support, physical comfort and assistance in obtaining information before, during and just after childbirth.
Labor suppport consists of helping a woman develop her own rhythms and rituals, providing distractions with breathing patterns, comforting touch, varying positions, use of a birth ball, warm or cold compresses, vocalization, visualization, relaxation, or whatever is needed to provide comfort.
Every birth is a unique experience and I will work with you to modify and vary comfort measures as desired and needed.

"Labor is obviously hard and intense work (hence, it's English name). It demands all of the mother's attention and may require hours of work, sweat and heavy breathing. Still, it remains a normal physiological process that humans and all other mammalian females have experienced for as long as we have existed." Ina May Gaskin
"Johanna was amazing. I was in labor for 29 hours, and she was there the entire time, supporting me along with my husband. Both of us agreed, there's no way we would have lasted that long without her! Even when emergencies arose and things didn't go according to my birth plan, Johanna was calm and assuring, reminding me that a healthy baby was the most important thing."
"Thank you so very much for helping B and me through labor. Because of you, we were able to get through it without medications and Frederic was born alert and I was alert throughout delivery and recovery. You calmed us, soothed us, fed us and made sure we felt secure and comforted. From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful and will always remember your kindness.”
