Bonding Based Doula Care is founded on principles of fostering connection and boosting oxytocin.

Oxytocin, often called the "love hormone" , plays a central role in labor and birth. It’s the hormone that:

• Triggers and strengthens uterine contractions

• Encourages feelings of calm, trust, and bonding

• Helps your body and baby work in harmony during labor

• Supports bonding and breastfeeding immediately after birth

Bonding Based Doula Care harnesses and protects this process by centering connection with your body, baby, partner, and birth team. To do this, I:

• Provide continuous emotional and physical support in labor and birth

• Encourage partner involvement to deepen intimacy and connection

• Advocate for your fully informed consent at all times

• Empower you to trust yourself and your decisions
