Compassionate Care

I specialize in supporting first-time moms who feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or anxious about birth and motherhood. If you’re struggling with fear—whether it’s fear of labor, fear of the unknown, or fear of stepping into your new identity—I’m here to guide you with compassion and reassurance.

​

I believe that your body is capable of incredible things, even if you don’t fully trust that yet. My role is to provide gentle education, emotional grounding, and unwavering support so you can make informed decisions that feel right for you. You don’t have to know exactly what you want in the delivery room—what matters is that you feel empowered, heard, and respected every step of the way.

​

At Roots to Roses, autonomy is everything. You deserve a birth experience that honors your instincts, respects your choices, and surrounds you with care—not pressure. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe, strong, and fully in control of your journey into motherhood.

Dori is amazing! After having a difficult birthing experience with my first birth I was excited to have a doula by my side to help me advocate for what I wanted. Dori went above and beyond, always available to answer questions and made me feel like my concerns were valid. She helped comfort me during labor walking me through different techniques to calm my nerves and ease the pain and discomfort.

What is your perfect birth? 

Is it in a tub unmedicated? 

In the hospital with an epidural? 

In a planned C-Section? 

At home in your own environment?

Whatever path you take, the perfect birth is one where you feel heard and empowered. I’ll be by your side every step of the way.
