Birth Doula
Labor Support

My goal as your doula is to be completely present for you birth experience-physically, emotionally and energetically. Through using active listening techniques, I adjust my role according to your needs and seek to promote communication among all members of the birthing team. As your doula, I work directly for you. I offer comfort measures, coping techniques, and constant presence to help you create the birth experience that you want.

About Van…

Hello! I’m Van. I am the owner and founder of Butterfly Birth. I have been a doula since 2019 and have supported over 75 families so far. I have spent the last 7 years learning from trainings, books, and one on one experiences with families to further my expertise in birth. I became a birthworker not due to having my own children, but due to understanding the lack of support and education we have around birth. Feeling safe, empowered, a supported, is the key foundational parts of having a normal, healthy birth. I am here to help guide your family on this journey and emergence as a new family on the other side.
