I provide a wealth of knowledge to help you navigate every decision with clarity. From understanding your birth options to knowing what to expect in the hospital or NICU, I break down complex information into supportive, accessible guidance tailored to your needs.

Whether you’re preparing for a vaginal birth, cesarean, or VBAC, my goal is to ensure you’re never left guessing. You’ll always have a knowledgeable guide by your side—one who sees you, hears you, and supports your right to make informed choices every step of the way.

Each experience has shaped the way I show up as a doula.
I’m incredibly grateful for the families who have invited me into their birth stories — and look forward to supporting many more.

Outside of Doula Work

My heart has always been in service and helping others. I’ve been deeply involved in the animal rescue community for many years and have personally rescued and rehomed over 100 cats and dogs. Every life touched has been a reminder of how powerful compassion and dedication can be.

Years ago, I stumbled across a post about doulas, and something deep inside me lit up. I just knew — this was the work I was meant to do. Though I wasn’t in a place to pursue it then, I held onto the dream. Now, over five years later, I’m living it — and I couldn’t be more grateful.

When I’m not supporting growing families through their most sacred transitions, I’m spending time with my incredible daughter, enjoying the outdoors with my husband, and cooking nourishing plant-based meals that feed both body and soul.

Successfully avoided a c-section

“I cannot even begin to explain my gratitude for Sam’s heart and experienced guidance for me. I ended up having a pretty long labor process that went well into the night and early morning and she did not skip a beat in her support every hour along the way. It felt so comforting for her to know my birth plan and work collaboratively with the nursing staff to help me with new positions to help the labor process along and listen to the needs of my baby and his safety. Her heart is so genuine. If you’re looking for someone that deeply cares and can hold you confidently through the labor process, I couldn’t recommend her enough. I was able to advocate for some of my needs for more time during labor and was able to successfully avoid a c-section at the last minute. If you’re curious, REACH OUT TO HER! She’ll look out for you.”

We felt safe, prepared and supported

“She has such a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer all of mine and my husband's questions. We felt safe, prepared and supported. I loved that she supported me as well as my husband so that he could be involved in the birth process as well. I am not exaggerating when I say we could not have done it without Sam. Her expertise is a huge reason that I was able to go unmedicated. She helped me stay calm and comfortable, advocated for us with hospital staff, stayed with me every step of the way and cheered me on as I gave birth. We cried and hugged before she left the hospital after I had my son and she truly felt like part of the family. I will be recommending her to everyone I know who needs a doula!”

She was hands on

“I truly couldn’t have gotten through my pregnancy or labor without Samentha’s help. She helped build the perfect birth plan for me and provided additional resources during my pregnancy to help me feel more confident in the birth to come. She was hands on and supportive during all 24 hours of my labor and was very knowledgeable on everything that I needed to do to help my labor progress. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a doula!”

Her presence was so grounding

“I cannot begin to express how thankful I am that Samentha is part of my team throughout my pregnancy and birth of my son. She offers a wealth of knowledge, insight and is always available when we have a question or concerns. Her presence during labor and delivery was so grounding. She really helped not only me, but my husband and our labor and delivery team at the hospital. If you are looking for someone who will help you achieve the type of birth you want or just need a guiding hand to navigate all the ins and outs of pregnancy and birth I highly recommend contacting Samentha.”

Made me feel safe

“Hiring Sam was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It gave me so much peace and confidence going into labor knowing I had someone I could lean on that has experience. I know everything my husband and I have seen videos on would go out the window when it came time to actually use it so it was really great having her there to help support my pain, my decisions, and also helping support my husband so he could rest too. She helped advocate for me and made me feel safe. I highly recommend her!”

Our experience was amazing

“Our experience with Sam as our doula was amazing. I am so grateful for her knowledge and calm spirit. She was always available when I needed her, she encouraged me and educated me to feel confident in the decisions I was making throughout my pregnancy. She taught my husband how to support me during labor and I am so grateful for that! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!”

Brought me peace of mind

“Samentha is an amazing doula! My husband and I met with her to create a birth plan. As a first-time mom, I was anxious about the birthing process, but Samentha brought me peace of mind! She introduced me to medical terminology I was not familiar with and made sure I fully understood my options while delivering. I feel more prepared because of Samentha and I’m glad I found her!”
—Mabel
I’m so grateful we connected

“From the moment I met Sam, she’s been incredibly supportive. When I was dealing with morning sickness, she shared helpful remedies, Amazon finds, and podcasts. Now at 17 weeks with my first baby, Sam continues to check in, remembers all my appointments, and is always available when I have questions. I’m so grateful I connected with her and would recommend her to any expecting mom!”

I felt very supported

“I felt very supported by Sam during my pregnancy and delivery! She was incredibly helpful. During my labor she played a big role in keeping me calm, and during postpartum she checked in on me and my family with genuine care. I would highly recommend Sam!”
