At My Love Grows, a birth doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor, and the early postpartum period.

That means:

• Personalized prenatal education
• Hands-on comfort techniques during labor
• Guidance as you navigate decisions
• Steady reassurance in vulnerable moments

I do not replace your medical provider — I work alongside your care team to help you feel confident, informed, and supported in your birth experience.

A midwife or OB provides medical care and monitors the health of you and your baby.

A birth doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support.

I do not perform medical tasks. Instead, I focus on:

• Comfort techniques
• Birth preference support
• Evidence Based support
• Physiological Birth
• Emotional reassurance
• Partner guidance

We work alongside your provider — not against them.

Many families say hiring a doula was one of the best decisions they made.

Research shows that continuous doula support is associated with:
• Lower cesarean rates
• Shorter labors
• Reduced need for interventions
• Greater satisfaction with the birth experience

But beyond statistics, families often say they felt calmer, more confident, and more supported.

At My Love Grows, my role is to help you feel prepared and steady, not overwhelmed.

The earlier, the better.

Many families in Minnesota and Wisconsin book during the second trimester to ensure availability and allow time for meaningful prenatal preparation.

That said, if you’re later in pregnancy, please still reach out. I may still have space to support you.

I serve families throughout the Twin Cities, MN and St. Croix River Valley, WI. My role remains the same in every setting — calm presence, informed guidance, and hands-on support.

You deserve support, no matter what pain management choices you make.

At My Love Grows, I support medicated, unmedicated, inductions, and cesarean births. My care is never tied to a specific birth plan. It’s rooted in helping you feel informed and empowered in your decisions.

Even with an epidural, comfort techniques, positioning, emotional grounding, and advocacy still matter.

This is your birth.

Absolutely.

Your partner is not replaced, they are supported.

During prenatal visits, I teach comfort techniques and ways they can actively participate. During labor, I guide and encourage them so they feel confident instead of unsure.

Birth is a team experience, and I help strengthen that team.
