Tidbits About Me
I have two busy, beautiful children, birthed with the help of a doula. Seeing them be best friends is my favorite thing!
I am a Lisenced Massage Therapist and love bringing these skills to help moms in labor.
I love to read a lot and do puzzles.
my doula journey
MY STORY
I went to massage school when I was only 20 years old and quickly realized my favorite clients were pregnant or new moms. The idea of a doula was introduced to me, but I wanted to focus on massage only, having not been a mother myself yet.
When my first child was born in 2015 I had the support of a doula and she was invaluable! I had a very satisfying, albeit long, birth and it was a dream! I experienced first-hand the value of this work and I wanted to be a part of it one day!
A few years later, I had my second baby, a very different but equally lovely birth experience with my husband and doula by my side. One year later I finally decided to make the move to do my doula training and help future parents have more peaceful and positive birth experiences. Becoming a doula has been one of the best decisions of my life!
MY PHILOSOPHY
Giving birth is a transformational experience and should be treated with great honor. It can be one the most pivotal moments in a mom's life and I am passionate about them being able to remember it with positive memories. No matter how their birth goes, I want to help to make it as satisfying and peaceful as possible, supporting them at every turn so they know they are not alone.
I believe in advocacy and empowering birthing parents to know what choices they have along their journey. I am passionate about helping mom's and dad's have a positive birth experience as they meet their little one. It's a great privilege and honor to do this work!

What Clients Say...
Ronda S.
"We are SO happy we hired Cynthia to support us during our delivery. We were hesitant initially if budgeting for a doula was in the cards for us. However, it ended up being one of our greatest investments!
She showed up promptly and stayed for the entire duration of labor! Due to her continued support, my husband was able to step out for meals throughout the labor which he later shared he would not have been comfortable doing otherwise. Her insight, tools and tricks were invaluable, and everything she did brought me a sense of calm and security.
I was able to achieve my forever dream of an unmedicated delivery thanks to her!
My husband shared afterward that our decision to hire her was well beyond worth what we paid. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!"
Laura
"Our experience with Cynthia was fantastic! I truly don’t know if I would have gone through with my natural water birth without her and my husband’s support.
I was at the hospital and completely out of my body during a strong surge… my husband was talking me through it, and right at the height of the surge I felt the most soothing, gentle hand caress my arm and I knew my doula had arrived!
I instantly felt safer, calmer, and stronger with her just being in the room.
Caitlyn C.
"She was there for me through the worst of my 4 day induction and she truly was a lifesaver. She brought grace and calm to both my husband and I, and gave us an opportunity to enjoy the whole birthing process, even when it got hard. She's also a licensed massage therapist, and her loving touch during the hard times made all the difference. She even painted my toenails in the hospital!!!"
Oana
"Cynthia was amazing to work with! She was such a comfort to me while I was laboring. It was my goal to have a natural, physiological birth and she helped prepare me for that and gave me the support and confidence to remain steadfast in the midst of intense labor. I am so thankful I had her in that room with me. And I appreciated her guidance and resource even as I prepared for labor. Cynthia is a wealth of knowledge, and her quiet strength and gentle demeanor helped to calm my angst leading up to labor and brought peace during the whole labor and birth experience."
Anna
"Cynthia's background in massage therapy was INCREDIBLE to have in labor! She was able to help my husband find the exact right pressure points on my hips too.
I honestly feel like I was brought back into my body and saw little twinkly stars every time I felt her touch or heard her affirming words throughout the night. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect doula experience. I highly, highly recommend Cynthia!"
Lisa C.
"Her presence was something that I have trouble finding the right words for. I can only describe the feeling of her bringing a warm, positive, gentle glow to the room once she arrived. Would never want to give birth without her as my Doula!"
Looking forward to our consultation and hearing all about your hopes for your birth.
I’m here for you every step of the way!
