Rushes Doula Service
20 years of experience
1000 Families
I provide specialized, individual care to families in Connecticut, Western Mass, and Eastern New York State, and accept a limited caseload to give more time to each family
​
I also provide in-home postpartum care in Connecticut and Western Mass, because new families deserve support to rest, learn, enjoy their new babies and, learn to trust their instincts- you know more than you think you do!
​
I approach birth with logic, data, and your desires in mind- it's your birth and my goal is for you to have the journey you desire, safely and with respect and dignity.
​
I have cared for over 1000 families during the childbearing year, and attended births in the hospital, home and birth centers in three states. I have great relationships with the hospitals I have worked in, and with many great providers in our area. Clients I have worked with have achieved an overall cesarean rate of 4%, a VBAC rate of 90%, breastfeeding initiation of 100%
​
I love working with any type of family that is a good fit mutually, but if you have special concerns, I have experience working with specific types of families as well, and have specialized experience with Folks building their families through IVF, folks who are Neurodivergent, folks who are Bipolar, people experiencing high risk pregnancy, High Achieving personalities (Type A folks), and LGBTQIA families.
