Strength & Dignity in Birth
Hi! I am Mari, your Doula!
I’m the proud wife of a retired U.S. Army veteran and my high school sweetheart. Together, we’ve raised two amazing young ladies-one in high school and the other in graduate school.
Driven by my background in human rights, my own birth experiences, and a deep sense of faith, I feel called to the intricate practice of birth work.
I am a Birth Doula, formally trained by DONA International - the founding and largest doula organization globally.
I provide evidence-based, compassionate care for birthing families; continuous uninterrupted presence; knowledge & understanding of the emotions and physiology of labor; knowledge of comfort measures; the ability to remain calm and objective; advocacy of your birth wishes and goals.
I blend my faith, fitness, and nutrition background to foster total, comprehensive wellness for my clients.
