You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Families who work with me go into birth prepared, come home confident, and actually sleep during those first weeks. That’s not luck. That’s having the right support.
I’m not just a doula.
I’m your advocate.
I’ve spent over 23 years in the birth world — and I’ve also raised six children of my own. That combination gives me a perspective no textbook can teach. I know what it feels like from both sides of the experience, more times than I can count.
I founded ImprovingBirth to change how families are supported through pregnancy and birth. I’ve worked on maternal health legislation, spoken on stages across the country, and helped thousands of families navigate pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. Now I’m back to doing what I love most — being your doula.

They came in uncertain.
They left transformed.
Thanks to Dawn my daughter was sleeping through the night starting at 5 weeks old. Best decision I ever made as a mom and I will absolutely be using Doula Dawn for all my future kids.
Dawn was the difference between a birth I just survived and one I actually felt proud of. She knew exactly when to speak up and when to let me lead.
After my first C-section I was terrified to try again. Dawn helped me understand what happened and build a real VBAC plan. I had my son vaginally at 40 weeks.
Simple. Personal. Yours.
