Doula Support
I love getting to know clients in preparation for birth; being a grounding and continuous presence during birth; and bringing a full doula toolkit along with me to birth, such as:
​
-
a variety of comfort measures,
-
massage and counterpressure,
-
hydrotherapy,
-
visualization,
-
breathing and relaxation techniques,
-
positioning,
-
and more.
​
Your goals are my priorities. Whether you imagine a quiet and spa-like environment, blasting music, birthing in a certain position, having an unmedicated birth, getting an epidural, or anything in between, I want to facilitate an environment that makes you feel safe and secure.
For parents taking a HypnoBirthing® course: I am trained in supporting HypnoBirthing techniques as a doula and am very comfortable using HypnoBirthing vocabulary, facilitating a calm environment, and focusing on the instinctive aspects of birth.

"Virginia is everything I needed during pregnancy. She is an empathetic, caring, knowledgeable, and committed person - all of the things you look for in a doula. She spent time with me in advance of labor to learn my preferences and what I envisioned a successful pregnancy would include. Then she made it happen! She was an advocate with hospital staff and a source of tremendous physical support by utilizing a variety of methods to make me as comfortable as possible. As a queer Native couple, we wanted a doula who was understanding, inclusive, and open to working with our needs and cultures. She went the distance to make sure we were seen, heard, and prioritized through the whole process. We love Virginia! And count her as one of our biggest blessings in life!"

"My goal for this pregnancy and birth was to go as long as I could unmedicated. I don't think I would have been able to accomplish that goal and go fully unmedicated without Virginia's guidance and support. Her calming demeanor and ease during an intense time helped my husband and I immensely in bringing our second baby into this world. I am so appreciative of her support."

"Virginia was my doula for the birth of my second baby in 2024. She was everything I hoped for. She was available in the weeks leading up to my induction to reassure me, commiserate with me and to cheer me on with each appointment. When I was in active labor, Virginia matched the feeling in the room perfectly – she was calm and helpful to both me and my husband. She laughed with us and helped me breathe through contractions. She suggested comfort measures for me and directed my husband on how to help. She gave amazing hip squeezes and back rubs. When it came time to push she was so encouraging and loving even when pushing felt long. And in the end she got the best pictures and videos of the birth. The day was so smooth and exactly what I hoped for in meeting my baby. Virginia is calm, loving, supportive, extremely knowledgeable and an awesome guide through the birth experience."
