Meet Our Doula
Background & experience
As a Certified Personal Trainer with a specialization in Pre/Postnatal exercise, I blend body awareness and physical birth prep into my approach as a labor doula. I believe that feeling confident and capable in your body translates to the birth space!
What led me to become a Doula
I have supported individuals through their pregnancy and postpartum fitness journeys for 5 years. After having doula support for my own birth, I realized how important it was to have non-biased, hands-on, emotional support throughout the birth process, and how prenatal exercise contributes to the birth experience as well. I wanted to be able to provide continuity in my support, which led me to becoming a labor doula!
What people say
"One of the things that stood out most was how naturally Megan seemed to understand me. She picked up on my social cues, respected my comfort level, and always seemed to know when I needed encouragement, information, distraction, or simply space. Nothing ever felt forced or scripted. Her support felt genuine and personalized. Birth is such a vulnerable experience, and having someone in the room who made me feel heard, respected, and supported made all the difference."
"I'm so thankful I had Megan as my doula for my second pregnancy. I went into this pregnancy with a lot of anxiety about delivery because my first birth and recovery had been really difficult. I chose Megan because I wanted someone who could help me better understand what my body would go through during labor and how I could prepare physically, including exercises and positioning. She really helped me slow down and think through things. She listened to my concerns, helped me work through my options, and brought up questions and things to ask my doctors. I was especially thankful to have her there during labor and delivery. I really appreciated how she advocated for me and helped me understand what was happening."
"Meg, thank you from the bottom of my heart. What started as a coaching relationship turned into one of the most meaningful friendships I could have asked for. You showed up for me and my daughter before she even arrived, and the confidence, strength, and joy you helped me find through this journey is something I will carry with me always. Every mom deserves someone like you in their corner."
