I am a BSW and doula with extensive experience supporting women through pregnancy, birth and post partum.
I have a BSW with experience supporting women through pregnancy and post partum. I have begun my journey recently as a birth doula, I look forward to being apart of you're positive birth experience!
During my undergrad I did my field work in a woman's clinic, supporting pregnant and post partum woman going through challenges. My clients made a big impact on me, it was then I knew I had to do something supporting woman surrounding pregnancy/birth. After my own personal births, I felt connected to other woman and the birthing experience from a more personal perspective. I loved my doula and felt she helped shape my births and outlook on motherhood. I am passionate about birth and helping woman through what I feel is the most transformative time in their lives...motherhood!
Social work is my background, I approach my doula practice in a similar way I would any client of mine. My client is the center of my focus, helping guide/support her to achieve her ideal positive birth, my goal is to help her feel in control and make informed decisions using evidence based approaches. The post partum period is especially important to me. As a social worker I look for signs of post partum mood disorders, I make sure my clients are settled and adjusting to post partum life, no matter what number baby this is for them. I am connected to different resources in the mental health community in Israel and will give information and contacts if a client feels it is necessary.
