DOULA SUPPORT
Our bodies were designed to birth our babies, but in this day-and-age our bodies aren’t necessarily well-conditioned for birth. With me as your birth doula, you will receive guidance on how to nourish your body, move your body, and overcome blocks to having the birth and postpartum experience you and your baby(ies) deserve. “Going with the flow” and “wait and see” are not the safest or healthiest approaches to anything, and birth is no different. If you want to be proactive and set yourself up for an empowering experience, I’m your doula!
BIRTH DOULA CARE
As your postpartum doula it is my job to make sure you are able to rest, heal, and get to know your baby after birth. I provide guidance around your physical healing, emotional and energetic support to process your birth, assistance in tapping into your own innate wisdom about how to best parent your baby, and you will have my decade of experience as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant to help guide you as you begin the journey of sustaining your little one. Let me honor your journey through matrescence!

POSTPARTUM DOULA
“The birth of our little love wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t talk about the instrumental part Chelsea played in it. We told her we were expecting early in my pregnancy as it was our first and we didn’t know what to expect. She showed up every single day over those nine months and equally so in postpartum. She was our rock. She had a solution for every scenario. Constantly checking in. Always reassuring, cheering and loving us through a time when everything felt foreign. I’ve never seen anyone show up in such a beautiful way that only Chelsea knows how to. Through her guidance and quiet strength we welcomed our sweet angel earth side in the most magical and beautiful way. There was no tearing, no medicine just the knowledge that she had passed along in those nine months that allowed me to ride the wave and know each contraction was bringing me closer to meeting my daughter. She knows every trick of the trade to make a tired, anxious mama feel like there’s nothing she can’t do. Simply put, Chelsea is a miracle worker. We're forever grateful for her.”

“I had the pleasure of partnering with Chelsea during a birth of some dear friends of hers. It was my first time serving clients alongside another doula and it was SUCH a dream. Chelsea is very intuitive in the birthing space, effortlessly tuning into what the mother and partner need physically, emotionally, and informationally. She has a deep understanding of the pregnant body and knows how to bring comfort through touch, positioning, and intentional movement. Her presence is peaceful and she transmits courage to those around her. Chelsea is a listener. She is in tune with the body, nervous system, and voice of those she serves. Proactive and responsive, she brings a sense of confidence and helps her clients feel safe and supported.”
- Kimberly, CLD, CALM Mama Doula
“Having Chelsea in the room with us during our 23 hour labor was an absolute heaven send! Her support, experience, and knowledge helped me, as a first time mom, to remain confident in my ability to birth my baby the way I wanted to. Medically, my birth was unassisted but in reality, Chelsea was the assistance I needed and had. I am forever grateful for her every time I look down at my precious baby girl. We love Chelsea and would highly recommend her to any and all birthers!”
- Sky, Tre & Baby Z
The best decision my partner and I ever made was to work with Chelsea as our postpartum doula. Seriously— delete your baby registry and instead choose to invest in a magical, supportive, and healing postpartum experience. Working with Chelsea was truly a gift. I look back at that time with so much gratitude because I felt completely cared for and nurtured as a new mom. She gave us the tools, tips, and tricks we needed to feel calm and confident as we embarked on our journey as new parents. You can’t put a price on that! Chelsea’s immense knowledge as a highly trained lactation specialist in addition to her years of supporting new parents gave me so much peace of mind. I know that she is the reason I had a successful breastfeeding journey, which has always been very important to me. Even though I try, words really cannot express how grateful I am to have been able to work with Chelsea. I only hope more new parents are able to experience all of the knowledge, support, and care that she has to offer!
