Support That Makes a Difference

How Doula Support Works

With calm presence and evidence-based guidance, I walk beside you, so you can trust your body and make empowered decisions with confidence.

Pregnancy and birth come with many decisions, emotions, and moments that can feel intense and overwhelming.

A doula’s role is not to replace medical care, but to walk alongside you, helping you feel informed, respected, and emotionally supported throughout your journey.

My approach is grounded in calm presence, evidence-based information, and deep respect for your choices, so you can feel confident in every decision you make.

FAQ

Clear answers about how my support works and what to expect.
Couldn't find the answer for your questions? Click here to see my full FAQ.

Do you support home births?

I'm very flexible.
I attend homebirths, birth centers and hospital births.

Why should I have a doula?

Because birth is not just physical. It is emotional, mental, and often unpredictable.
Having a doula means you are not trying to figure everything out in the moment. You have someone with you who helps you stay calm, understand what is happening, and feel supported from beginning to end.
It is not about whether you can do it on your own.
It is about how you want to feel while you are doing it.

What makes Push It Baby Doula different?

The way I support you goes beyond the birth itself.
I start working with you during pregnancy so you feel prepared and confident before labor even begins. I help you understand your options, your body, and also how to navigate the hospital system here in the United States.
I also offer bilingual support in English and Portuguese, so you can express yourself clearly and feel truly understood.
And because many of the families I support are far from home, I focus on creating a sense of connection, not support just during labor.

What’s the difference between a doula and a midwife?

Great question, because they have very different roles.
A midwife is a trained professional responsible for your medical care. She monitors you and your baby, and helps to make clinical decisions.
I don’t do anything medical.
I stay with you the whole time, helping you stay calm, understand what’s happening, and feel supported through each moment.
She focus on the medical side. I focus on you.

Will you replace my partner or take away their role?

No, not at all. I actually help your partner feel more confident.
Most partners really want to support you, but in the moment, they’re not always sure what to do. That’s where I come in.
I guide them. I show simple ways they can help you physically and emotionally. And I support them too.
So instead of replacing your partner, I help them be more present and involved. It becomes a team!

What if I feel scared or unsure about giving birth?

That is more common than you think.
You do not need to feel ready right now.
Part of my role is to help you understand what is happening, prepare step by step, and feel calmer and more confident as your birth approaches.
You are not expected to have everything figured out. We built that together.
