Birth Doula Services

What happens during CST?

Congratulations on your pregnancy momma! Whether you are having your first baby or not, having someone beside you to support you during your pregnancy, birth, and the first few days is invaluable. I’m a full spectrum doula with 2 decades of nanny experience with newborns. I also work with moms and babies as a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. In addition, I have an extensive health background. Imagine accessing all my knowledge on nutrition, exercise, stress management, bodywork, hypnotherapy, trauma-informed coaching, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy to help you be in the best possible place for having your baby.

As your birth doula, my goal is to support you towards the childbirth you wish to experience. I want to assist you in achieving an empowering birth by using all my professional expertise and evidence-based practices.

Whether you are thinking about an unmedicated birth, or an epidural, or are having a scheduled C-section, help with breastfeeding your baby from the first minute on, or wish to give birth at home, I’m here for you. Having the support of a calm, loving person in the room is invaluable. I can provide you with non-judgemental, unbiased, and evidence-based information.

Becoming a mother is a huge, yet beautiful transition in your life. It will fundamentally change you as a person. You want to make sure that you are preparing your body so that when it’s time to give birth, your body is in the best place possible spiritually, physically, and mentally. Let me be your support for this magical journey you are on.

“I had my eyes set on an unmedicated home birth when I found out I was pregnant. I’m glad I chose Regina as my doula. When things got so intense and I thought I couldn’t take it any longer, she was there for me and my partner. She had so many things to offer to get me through those few hours of very intense labor and have my unmedicated birth experience. I can’t thank her enough for her support!”
– Sue

“I reached out to Regina very late in my pregnancy when I realised that my OB wasn’t going to be as supportive as I thought. Luckily she had availability. I felt immediately reassured by her presence and knowledge. I was able to advocate for myself with Regina’s help enough to cancel a suggested C-section and have the birth I was hoping for. Both me and my husband loved her caring, calm nature and endless ways of supporting me in labor and in postpartum. Thank you Regina!”
– Maria

“Regina helped me with both of my sons, from the moment I got home from the hospital. First time around I suffered from severe baby blues and she was able to support me and my newborn every step of the way. There is no one I would trust my children with more. Apart from her calm personality and can do attitude, she is super qualified in postpartum support, general health and first aid. I highly recommend her!”
– Rachel

“Regina was recommended by my birth doula for postpartum support when my daughter was only a few weeks old. I instantly felt safe and understood by her. She offered great knowledge on newborn care and postpartum support for myself. My daughter had a hard time sleeping during the day, yet she fell asleep in Regina’s arms immediately. Regina is a baby whisperer!”
– Lena
