About Demetria
I am a believer in birth and the power all women have inside them to give birth. As a doula, apprentice or midwives assistant I know that my actions at birth can be an asset to any birth situation if I listen and work for the needs of the mother. I have assisted women in all types of birthing situations and I know that all types of birth can be a beautiful and moving experience for the whole family.

Your work with us after the birth of our son was a lifesaver. Thank you. We have a great breastfeeding relationship now and that is so important to me.

We were so impressed with the support you gave us during our pregnancy and so pleased with the care we got in labor. I don't think we could have done it without you. You helped us walk through our fears and have the birth I always dreamed of.
