Welcome!

Experience Your Birth, Your Way.
Empowering women on the journey to motherhood.

Every woman deserves a doula.

BIRTH UNTAMED
Are you ready to embrace the beauty of natural childbirth? 

Bringing a child into the world can be one of the most incredible experiences of a woman's life.  Certified Birth Doulas are trained to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to expectant mothers and their partners before, during, and after childbirth.  As such, my role is to ensure that you feel fully supported, informed, and empowered in your decisions throughout the entire pregnancy and labor process.  Studies have shown that having a Doula improves both maternal and fetal health, reduces the use of unnecessary medical interventions and medical abuse, and increases the overall satisfaction with the childbirth experience.  My mission is to ensure every one of my birth clients is able to confidently advocate for herself and make her own decisions for her birth.  I do this by providing resources and education, in combination with the physical and emotional support, every step of the way.

Let's get started!

Hey there, I'm Sydney

I can't wait to meet you!

I am a 30-year-old mother to two beautiful children and one on the way.  I fell in love with birth after my second was born fast and furious at home.

 

I began photographing newborns after my first was born and I fell in love with babies, and then after my second came I jumped into the world of birth photography - which has brought me full circle to becoming a Certified Birth Doula, Lactation Specialist, and Childbirth Educator! 

 

I am a Christ follower who believes in the sanctity of growing and bringing new life into the world.  I am a huge advocate for undisturbed birth, and fully believe in its natural physiological process.  I have come to love supporting and educating women searching for answers and information on all things pregnancy and birth, especially when it comes to HER plans for HER birth!  Whether that is in a hospital with an OB, at home with a midwife, or totally wild and free, every single woman has the right to choose how she births.  We will not be tamed!
