Faith Filled Doula Support
Helping women realize the miracle of life.
Birth is an amazing journey! It is physical, emotional and spiritual. It is powerful and life changing.
As a doula it is my honor to attend and support women and families in so many ways.
Before and during labor I offer informational, emotional, and physical support, helping her to navigate the changes and choices of birth today. I bring many skills and tools to your birth, including massage, positioning and comfort measures to support your labor.
My postpartum doula support service enables every family to begin this new chapter of life in the light of Faith, knowing birth is designed by God to bring us closer to Him.
Birth has always been a big part of my life as the mother of 10 and as I attended my sisters and daughters in labor. I see in birth such a beautiful demonstration of love. The love of a mother as she uses her strength; love of a partner in support of labor; and love of God for us as we travel through the whole process. I am blessed with the beautiful opportunity to help others welcome the precious gift of new life into this world.
My life is guided by Catholic faith, marriage, and my life’s vocation of motherhood. I am DONA trained and certified through the Catholic Doula Program as both a birth and postpartum doula. I am an ALPP certified Lactation Couselor.

Other studies have shown that having a doula as a member of the birth team decreases the overall cesarean rate by 50%, the length of labor by 25%, the use of Pitocin by 40%, and requests for an epidural by 60%.
Having a doula allows the father to support his partner emotionally during labor and birth and to also enjoy the experience without the added pressure of trying to remember everything he learned in childbirth class!
A Birth Doula offers mental, emotional, and physical support before, during, and after childbirth. She is there to provide continuous support for mom and when applicable, also for her partner. Allowing partners to relax, rest as needed, and participate in the labor & delivery feeling comfortable and knowing they are helping.
Text, email and phone support throughout pregnancy labor and delivery including 2 in-person prenatal and one post partum visit. Continuous support where you are through labor and immediate post partum.
I support hospital, birth center and home births that are attended by health care professionals. I do not support births with no medical professional in attendance.
The earlier in the pregnancy the better. I offer emotional and informational support throughout pregnancy by text, email and phone. As the pregnancy progresses, we will meet in person to discuss needs, desires, and expectations and again to practice comfort measures and positions. After the baby comes, I continue support through recovery and transition to family-hood.
I support all families, regardless of faith background or belief system. For clients who view birth as an experience with a spiritual component I am able to share in that perspective. Not all families share in this experience, however, and I support all birthing clients with respect and compassion.
My birth package is $2000, Placenta encapsulation is $200, and post-partum care is $50/ hour daytime and $65/ hour for overnight. But I am willing to negotiate as ALL women deserve support in birth.
I was so blessed to have Koko as my doula. Her knowledge and experience was so helpful and I have no idea how we would've gotten through this as smoothly without her. She is so supportive and understanding and we prayed together when things got intense and I wanted to pray. My labor was such a beautiful experience and having Koko made the world of a difference. She genuinely loves and cares for the mommas she works for! She is a blessing!
B.
"From our very first meeting Koko was kind, gentle, and informative. She helped guide my husband to find ways to comfort me without him taking away from my focus.
Her understanding of the joys and challenges of childbirth cannot be matched! Koko has an understanding of how amazing bringing a child into this world is; she can encompass that joy while also being honest, informative, and preparing you for the realities of this experience. "
R.
"Koko was our doula for my VBAC in May 2021. She is simply amazing!! From my first prenatal visit to my postpartum visit, she was exactly what our family needed. My birth threw us for a loop as labor came on so quickly that I didn't even make it to my planned hospital! Koko talked me through my early and active labor. She kept me sane through the pushing and rush of everything. She truly cares and wants the best birth experience for you."
S.
"I was so happy I chose Koko to be our doula! I was on the fence about needing one, but she really set my mind at ease and helped lessen any worry I had about birth. She encapsulated my placenta for me too. I felt much more comfortable having her be the one to do that than a big facility. She really helped relieve any stress or anxiety I had when having my second child. I wish I had hired her the first time as well!"
