Hi, I’m Ally.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m so happy you landed here. Choosing a doula is a big decision and I honor your process in finding the right match for you and your family. Any questions you have that you aren’t finding answers to on here, please reach out to ask!
My journey in holding space for people began in 2018 when I became a yoga instructor. One of my strengths I’ve discovered through teaching yoga, is how to teach to the person, not the pose. What does this mean? Rather than trying to make 1 pose fit everyone in the class, I make the pose accessible for every person in the class, so each person has a variation that works with them.
Okay, but how does this relate to your birth?
Yoga isn’t one size fits all, and neither is pregnancy and birth. I’m experienced in holding space for you, as you are, and finding the tools that will support you best in your journey through pregnancy, labor and birth.
I’m a 500 HR certified yoga instructor with certifications in Prenatal Yoga, Postnatal/Baby & Me Yoga, and Restorative Yoga; I’m trained as a Birth & Postpartum Doula through DONA International, and one of my greatest (second hand) accomplishments is that I’m a proud aunt of three.
Through those 3, I’ve seen how no one birth is the same, how important it is to know your choices, and how empowering it can be when when you have autonomy in your birth. I see the beauty and power in listening to your body and honoring that birth is physiological.
I’m here to meet you where you are, and use my vast doula-and-prenatal-yoga-instructor toolbox to find an approach that best suits you in preparing for your babie(s) birth.
