Serving mothers in Bozeman, MT and beyond… virtual prenatal/postpartum doula support now available!! 〰️

CONGRATULATIONS!

You’re amidst one of the greatest

transformations of your life.


Whether you are welcoming in your first baby or your fifth,

each pregnancy, birth, postpartum experience, and child we welcome in changes us to our core.

This journey can be so very exciting, yet also so very overwhelming, messy and uncomfortable - all at once.


As your Doula, I am here to help ease this transition for you.

Through providing compassionate support, education, & a gentle helping hand,

I will ensure that you & your family feel fully cared for.


I wholeheartedly believe that ALL mothers deserve to be held during this tender time.

Having been through this process three times myself, I know from the bottom of my heart how transformative it truly is.


With Bachelor's Degrees in both Nursing & Psychology, paired with my own personal birth and postpartum experiences,

I am able to bring a heartfelt, yet professional aspect into my work as a doula.


As your doula, it is a top priority of mine to help you

nurture your relationship with your intuition.

I personally believe that having a strong relationship with our intuition is one of the most

important elements in the process of stepping into ourselves as a mother.



As I’m sure you’ve noticed already, there will be endless opinions, suggestions and advice thrown your way as you continue to move through motherhood.

If we haven’t cultivated a strong relationship with our intuition, the noise and chatter outside of us can end up having a very draining and overwhelming impact on us.


Yet if we are strong and rooted in our inner knowing,

we will be able to tune out all of that outside noise,

and fully lean into trusting ourselves and our innate ability to care

for our babies with confidence and ease.


It is my job to help you go inward and truly identify what feels right to you during this time.

This is YOUR journey, and nobody else’s.


I trust your inner knowing.

I trust how fully capable you are.

I trust that this journey of yours will unfold just how it’s meant to.



I will be by your side, fully supporting you & cheering you on

as you grow into yourself as a mother.


All families needs and desires during this time will look different. I will meet you exactly where you are. Together, we will identify your unique needs,

and I will ensure that you feel fully supported, seen, and fully cared for throughout our time together.



Please know:

You are safe to show up with me, in each moment, just as you are.

It is my goal to ensure you feel fully safe to fall apart whenever you may need to.



I, myself, have traversed the falling apart & coming back together an endless amount of times…

It is my now greatest purpose, and a true honor, to witness you and tend to you during this profound time in your life.

The process of leaving behind our maiden selves and feeling into ourselves as a mother is going to be uncomfortable… confusing… disorienting… overwhelming… yes.

AND, it will also be a time filled with the most heartwarming love you’ve EVER felt or known.


I will create the space for you to fully lean into each hard moment as it arises.

For I have found that when women are lovingly nurtured throughout this transition,

they are given the gift of feeling safe enough to truly let the

waves of early motherhood transform them… just as they’re meant to!

TESTIMONIALS

 
Testimonials

“Rae was such an amazing source of support in the weeks and months after the birth of my twins. Our calls were encouraging, validating, and healing. They made such a difference in my breastfeeding journey and transition to motherhood.“

- Meredith

“Our timing with Rae as a postpartum doula was perhaps a little unconventional, we didn’t meet her or use her services until 6 or 7 weeks postpartum, because we had been in the NICU for 5 weeks, so I cannot speak to the immediate post-birth experience, but I have no doubt that would be as positive an encounter as the one we had with her. She helped take the load off and seemed very at ease with my twins (her first twin experience, though you wouldn’t know it), doing anything that helped me on a given day, whether it was just hanging with the girls so I could do some work, helping me with dishes and folding laundry, clipping tiny fingernails that I just didn’t always seem to get around to, or taking them on a walk. She is very compassionate and open minded, and in addition to all the help, was always very nice to talk to and I really enjoyed our conversations. For anyone going through the postpartum experience who feels they could use some extra help, support, and good company, I’d highly recommend reaching out to her”

- Rebecca

“Rae was a huge help to our family after the birth of our daughter. She was so supportive, kind, and knowledgeable. I immediately felt comfortable around her. It was wonderful to be able to nap or take a shower and know that our daughter was in good hands. I would definitely recommend working with her”

- Mary

“Rae was our postpartum doula after we welcomed our first baby. She was so helpful!! Whether I needed to talk and process, give baby a bath, or even take a nap, she was there as an experienced support. She answered all of our first time parent questions (when should the belly button stump come off?? Is this diaper rash and what do we do about it?) with compassion, experience, and without judgment. She helped us build confidence in ourselves as parents in those first few weeks. I would absolutely recommend her services!”

- Susanna

“Rae is naturally gentle and nurturing, and her guidance helped to ease those first few weeks of motherhood. She has so much comfort with and knowledge of newborns and their needs and was a calming presence for both me and my little one. She's also quick to lend an extra hand wherever needed. A true gift to new mothers!”

- Korena

“Rae came to my home when I was pregnant and she was a traveling nurse in Vermont. She helped support me during pregnancy. She answered all my questions and helped ease anxieties I had about pregnancy and childbirth. She was kind and compassionate. Having a baby was a huge life change. I couldn't recommend a better person to help with the transition to motherhood!”
