Our Mission
Serene Journey was founded to support women during pregnancy and to meet the growing need for labor support in our community. It is my goal to help mothers learn to trust in their beautiful, strong bodies and to trust in birth. The moment that a baby is born is joyous, magical, and wondrous, and it is my wish for mothers and their partners to experience the birth of their babies as fully as possible. My approach to birth work encompasses technique that includes a mind, body and spirit approach to birth.
It is now widely recognized that choosing to add a Doula to one’s birth team can yield many positive benefits, including
Decreasing the overall cesarean rate by 50% and the length of labor by 25%.
Decreasing the requests for an epidural by 60% for families who prefer not to utilize this option.
Decrease in postpartum complications and depression.
Increase in breastfeeding rates and overall satisfaction regardless of the type of birth!
A woman’s memories of her birth experiences last a lifetime and can have powerful effects on her self-esteem and confidence. I am committed to helping women and couples feel empowered and supported as they experience birth.
All packages come with payment plans ranging from $175- $300 paid bi-weekly or monthly. Price dependent on due date.
