About Deirdre
I'm a full spectrum doula, which means that I provide individualized, trauma-informed doula care to pregnant people & their families throughout the perinatal period. My guidance is available to clients throughout fertility & conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, & abortion.
I chose a career as a doula because I believe it's the best combination of my skills & interests, mobilized to nurture my community. In my work, I strive to create a trust & openness with my clients which allows them to see me as their friend who's also their personal expert in pregnancy, birth, & parenting.
My goal with each client is to foster a sense of self-confidence. I'll gently guide you through education & self-reflection, & encourage you to articulate your wishes for your perinatal journey.
​
I believe that by actively supporting bodily autonomy & informed choice, we can break cycles of trauma & make way for a society that puts mental health & body sovereignty first. I practice doula work in the hope that by supporting health for parents, they will impart health onto their children, which will in turn create a healthy society.
