Your body. Your voice. Your birth.
You deserve to feel informed, capable, and deeply supported.
Birth can be tender, intense, surprising, and transformative. You should not have to navigate it feeling alone or unheard.
I offer steady emotional, physical, and educational support while honoring your choices—without judgment and without an agenda.
Meet Ivanna
A lifelong pull toward birth, unlocked by becoming a mother.
After experiencing the difference her own doula made, Ivanna knew she wanted to offer other mothers that same sense of calm, clarity, and belief in themselves.
As a registered nurse with experience in medical-surgical nursing and surgical services and a certified birth doula, she brings a grounded, evidence-informed perspective to every family she serves. Her role is not to direct your birth—it is to help you understand your options, trust your instincts, and feel supported in the choices that are right for you.
“I want mothers to trust their bodies and their capacity to birth and raise a human.”
From first questions to first days home

Support without an agenda
There is no single right way to give birth.
Home, birth center, or hospital. Unmedicated, epidural, vaginal, or Cesarean. Planned or unexpected. I meet you in the birth you are having and help keep your values at the center of the room.

RN
Where knowledge meets intuition
Evidence-informed.
Always client-led.
Ivanna’s nursing background helps her make complex information feel more approachable. As your doula, she offers education and support—not clinical care, diagnosis, or medical advice—and always respects the decisions you make with your medical team.
A few things you may be wondering
Questions, answered.
Do you replace my partner?
Never. I help your partner feel more confident and involved with comfort ideas, reassurance, and practical guidance—while making sure both of you feel supported.
Do you support hospital births and C-sections?
Yes. I support home, birth-center, and hospital births, including planned or unexpected Cesarean births. My role adapts to the birth you are having.
What does “evidence-informed” mean?
It means I can help you understand common options and prepare questions using current care standards. As your doula, I do not diagnose, prescribe, perform clinical tasks, or make medical decisions for you.
When should I reach out?
Any time during pregnancy is welcome. Reaching out earlier gives us more time to build trust, prepare together, and reserve your estimated due date.
Let’s begin with a conversation
Your birth is personal.
Your support should be, too.
Tell me a little about your family and estimated due date. I’ll be in touch to schedule a complimentary consultation.
