Isabelle (she/her)

birth doula

Isabelle is a DONA (Doulas of North America) birth doula and a certified VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) doula. She was raised on a farm and is the oldest of seven children, so growing up she was always around birth and babies. Her love for life and families grew when she got my degree in Marriage, Family, and Human Relations. She’s always known that she wanted to work with families, and becoming a doula has been a way for her to tap into her desire to help families have autonomy and sacredness in their birth experiences. Isabelle’s work as a doula has forged the way for her to become a midwife, and she’s hoping to be finished with her certification in midwifery within the next couple of years.

Isabelle’s role as a doula is to help her clients move into the seat of the parent, making their own decisions based on their intuition and knowledge. She helps her clients have autonomy in their care by providing reliable informational resources for them to make their decisions from. As a doula, Isabelle holds space for her clients, and protect that space so that they can stay focused and in their element. I provide a grounding and calming energy to my clients, helping them feel safe and secure in whatever turns happen in their birth experience.
