3 Pathways of Care at ARTpath


My care is built on three essentials that guide how I support you through birth and postpartum.

Why Having a Doula Helps

On a deeper level, a doula becomes part of your circle of care.


Birth and the postpartum weeks can feel intense and unpredictable, and in those moments, a doula offers steadiness, advocacy, and calm so you don’t have to face everything on your own.​  At the heart of it, birth unfolds through the body of the one giving birth and the journey of healing, which is why support must honor the needs, choices, and voices of the birthing parent and new parents as they enter postpartum.

While nurses and doctors focus on clinical needs, and family offers love, a doula provides neutral, trusted support that centers on you, your body, your emotions, your comfort, and your experience. This balance increases safety, reduces interventions, and helps you remember your birth and early postpartum as a time of strength, connection, and growth rather than uncertainty.
