Birth Doula
My role as your birth doula: educate, prepare, encourage, support and guide you to have a positive birth and postpartum experience.
I have worked as a birth doula for the past 13 years and attended over 600 births.I am by your side throughout pregnancy, birthing and the postpartum period. I support all birth choices and outcomes. My goal is to serve those looking for the very best in comprehensive, compassionate, and personalized doula care. Every birth is unique. You choose where and how you prefer to birth. Birth should be a positive and joyful experience.
Outside the birth world I enjoy all things health and wellness related. I love nature, running, swimming, and yoga. Staying active makes me happy and plays a positive roll in my life. I love spending time with my husband and two sons, learning, exploring new playgrounds or park trails, and cooking. I began my career as a doula in the Greater Philadelphia area. I now serve the Atlanta Metropolitan area. I work with clients in Woodstock, Canton, Alpharetta, Rosewell and surrounding areas.
Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing Class
Hypnobabies is a complete childbirth course, that also teaches valuable self-hypnosis and deep relaxation techniques. Mom uses the self-hypnosis techniques to automatically produce a natural anesthesia throughout her body, using the power of the mind. These are the same medical hypnosis techniques that some people use to create natural anesthesia for surgeries without drugs! We teach physical, verbal and mental hypnosis birthing techniques.
Hypnobabies allows you to remain deeply relaxed while walking, talking and changing positions; being as mobile as they would like to be during childbirth. Hypnobabies is known for creating more comfortable labors.
Childbirth Education Classes
Understanding the birth process and your choices in childbirth are an important part of creating a positive experience. In addition to group classes, flexible private classes can be scheduled to meet your needs. I offer a private 3 week comprehensive childbirth class, a one day childbirth intensive class, and a 6 week Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing class.
I also offer one day workshops including Comfort Measures & Coaching the Birth Partner, Homebirth Prep, and Preparation for Postpartum & Infant Care. Contact for class outlines and more information.
Birth Consulting & Birth Story Processing
Private one-on-one sessions with Keli to address your questions, concerns and work through fear releasing. These sessions are scheduled hourly and can be done in-person or virtually.
Who is consulting for?
Not sure you want a doula at your birth? Do you hope for your next birth to look different than you last experience? Maybe you’ve given birth before and want a refresher with up to date, evidence-based information. Consultations with a birth doula could be what you're looking for. I also offer postpartum consulting to listen to your birth experience and help you find the resources you need. Private. Personal. Professional.
