With over 23 years as a birth and postpartum doula, I’m here to guide you through every stage — from pregnancy to those wild first weeks at home. Virtual, personal, and built around you.
I’ve spent over 23 years in the birth world watching families walk into one of the most transformative experiences of their lives completely unprepared — not because they didn’t care, but because the right support simply wasn’t there.
I founded ImprovingBirth to change that. 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.
Whether you’re a first-timer, a repeat parent who wants a completely different experience, or someone planning a VBAC — I meet you exactly where you are.
Continuous, personalized support through your labor and birth — so you never face that room alone.
We’ll map out your birth preferences, prepare you for the unexpected, and make sure your voice is heard.
The fourth trimester is real. I help you recover, adjust, and feel like yourself again — on your schedule.
You had a C-section. You want a different story this time. Let’s build your plan, your confidence, and your team.
Ongoing messaging and virtual coaching through pregnancy, birth prep, and the newborn days.
One session with me to talk through your specific situation, fears, or birth plan. Bring all your questions.
Everyone tells you to just survive the first three months. After 23 years and hundreds of families, I’m here to tell you that’s completely unnecessary. This gentle system gets results in the first days home — no cry it out required.
Every product I offer is designed to meet you where you are and take you further.
The gentle feeding & sleep system that gets results in the first days home. No cry it out.
Birth, newborn, breastfeeding, and end of pregnancy bundles — 4–6 videos each.
Private virtual education: labor, interventions, recovery, newborn 101. All of it.
One session with me. Your questions, your situation, my full attention.
I’ve heard every hesitation. Here’s what I want you to know before you decide.

The Thought
“My pediatrician will tell me everything I need to know about my baby’s sleep.” |
The Reality
With the deepest respect for pediatricians — they are not newborn sleep specialists. They went to medical school. They see your baby for 15-minute well visits. Unless they’ve personally been up at 2am with a screaming newborn as a professional caregiver — not just as a parent — their experience with the actual night-by-night reality of newborn sleep is extremely limited. I have been in hundreds of homes, at night, with real families, doing exactly this work for 23 years. That is a different kind of knowledge. |
|
The Thought
“My mom did this with me and I turned out fine. She’ll help.” |
The Reality
Your mom loves you and means well. But those early weeks are genuinely hard to remember — even for the most attentive parents. The haze of exhaustion makes those first days blur together. And much of what was standard advice a generation ago — letting babies cry, rice cereal in bottles, stomach sleeping — has since been revised significantly. The evidence on infant sleep and safe sleep has changed. You deserve guidance that reflects what we know now, not what people did then. |

The Thought
“I can just Google this. The information is free.” |
The Reality
You can Google it. And you’ll find seventeen contradictory answers in the first page of results. You’ll find sleep training methods, attachment parenting debates, Reddit threads, and blog posts from people who had one baby five years ago. What you won’t find is a coherent, step-by-step system built specifically for the 0–8 week window, based on 23 years of hands-on experience, that actually tells you what to do tonight. That’s the difference. |
|
The Thought
“Every baby is different. This might not work for mine.” |
The Reality
Every baby IS different — in personality, temperament, and feeding style. But newborn biology is not different. Every newborn has the same circadian rhythm development, the same feeding patterns, the same growth spurt timing. The system I teach works with your baby’s biology, not against it. That’s exactly why it works across hundreds of different families with hundreds of different babies. |
|
The Thought
“I just had a baby. I don’t have time to watch a video.” |
The Reality
It’s 12 minutes. You will find 12 minutes in the next 24 hours — during a feeding, during a nap, with your partner watching the baby. And those 12 minutes could mean the difference between 3-hour and 1-hour sleep stretches tonight. The ROI on this video is measured in sleep. Which you desperately need. |

The Thought
“I don’t know who Dawn is. How do I know I can trust her?” |
The Reality
Fair. Here’s the short version: 23 years as a DONA-certified doula. Hundreds of families. Founder of ImprovingBirth, co-founder of March for Moms, nationally recognized maternal health advocate, 1.7 million views on birth education content, and featured in publications across the country. I have dedicated my entire career to this. And I stand behind everything in this video with a full 7-day money-back guarantee. If you don’t find it helpful, you pay nothing. |
You only get one shot at this birth. Don’t go in without someone who will fight for you, educate you, and celebrate you every step of the way.
