Healthy Mother Haven
A birth doula for Matthews families.
Matthews families have one of the busiest maternity units in the region right in town — which is a gift when you are in labor, and a lot to take in when you are still deciding what kind of birth you want. I help you walk in knowing what you want and why.

Planning a home birth in Matthews instead? I support home births alongside your midwife, and a good deal of the preparation we do together matters most when you are birthing at home.
How I prepare Matthews mothers for birth
True birth preparation isn't only physical. We tend to the whole woman — so you arrive at your birth feeling strong, settled, and deeply supported.
Spiritually
Reconnect with the quiet wisdom of your body and meet birth as the sacred threshold it is — calm, present, and unafraid.
Physically
Nourishment, movement, and breath tailored to your body — so you can tap into its natural rhythm and labor with confidence.
Emotionally
A steady, unhurried presence beside you and your family — someone who holds space, answers every question, and never leaves your side.

Yes — Matthews is part of the area I serve, and there is no travel fee. The care and the price are the same whether you are in Matthews or in Charlotte proper.
Which hospitals do you support births at in Matthews?
Wherever you choose to birth. Most Matthews families deliver at Novant Health Matthews Medical Center or one of the other nearby maternity units, and I am beside you in the room the same way at any of them. I also support home births alongside a midwife.

Whenever you are thinking about it — including before you are pregnant. Earlier gives us more time to prepare together, but it is never too late to have someone with you.
