BIRTH UNTAMED
Are you ready to embrace the beauty of physiologic birth? 

Bringing a child into the world can be one of the most incredible experiences of a woman's life.  As a Certified Birth Doula and Birth Keeper, I am trained to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to expectant mothers and their partners before, during, and after childbirth.  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 feminine support such as a doula improves both maternal and fetal health, reduces the use of unnecessary medical interventions and medical abuse when birthing in the system, and increases the mother's overall satisfaction with her childbirth experience.  My mission is to ensure every one of my birth clients has a positive birth experience, and is able to confidently advocate for herself and make her own decisions for her birth.  I do this by providing physiologic childbirth education with resources, as well as 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 three beautiful children.  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, Sovereign Birth Keeper, Certified Postpartum 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 understand its natural physiologic process.  I have come to love supporting and educating women searching for answers and information on all things pregnancy and birth.  Every single woman has the right to confidently choose how she births, and it is her responsibility to be well informed on those decisions.

We will not be tamed!
