Dear Mama-to-Be,

Welcome to Roots to Roses LLC—a space designed for you to feel safe, heard, and empowered on this incredible journey into motherhood. I’m Dorothea Rose, but my friends call me Dori, and since we’re in this together, I hope you will too.

As a Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula, and a VBAC Specialist, my passion lies in helping first-time moms navigate the uncertainties of birth and the transition into motherhood with confidence. Stepping into this new chapter can bring fear, doubt, and countless questions—but you are fully capable, and your body is designed for this journey in ways you may not have realized.

My role is to provide the education, reassurance, and emotional support you need to make the best decisions for you. Whether you’re unsure about your birth plan, overwhelmed by choices, or simply needing a steady presence through labor and postpartum, I’ll be by your side every step of the way.

Your body knows what to do. My job is to help you listen to it, trust it, and embrace the incredible power you hold. Let’s build an experience that honors your instincts, your choices, and your strength as you step into motherhood.

You’ve got this, and I’ve got you!

Warmly,

Your Doula
