HI, I’m Genna.

I’m a birth doula, Placenta encapsulation specialist, wife, and mother of four. Birth and motherhood have shaped so much of who I am, both personally and professionally, and supporting mothers through these seasons is work I feel deeply connected to.

My approach to doula support is centered around helping you feel informed, confident, supported, and heard throughout pregnancy and birth. I’m not there to tell you how your birth should look or to make decisions for you. I’m there to help you understand your options, prepare for the birth you’re hoping for, and provide steady, compassionate support as your story unfolds.

I believe there no single “right” way to give birth. Hospital birth, home birth, epidural, unmedicated birth, induction, cesarean - every mother deserves to feel respected and supported in the choices that are right for her.

Alongside birth doula support, I offer placenta encapsulation and thoughtfully created postpartum care through Rhythm & Repose. My goal is to support mothers not only as they prepare to meet their babies, but as they move into the tender transition of postpartum and life with a newborn.

A little about me outside of birth work

I’m a New England mom raising four kids, which means life outside of doula work is usually full, Lous and a little chaotic. I love being outdoors with our family, our animals, gardening, creating things with my hands, and finding those slower moments at home whenever I can.

Motherhood has given me an enormous appreciation for how different every pregnancy, birth, baby, and postpartum experience can be. It’s also one of the reasons I care so much about mothers having support that feels personal r than one-size-fits-all.

Training & experience

My journey into birth work began in 2012, when I attended my first birth as an uncertified doula. That experience sparked a lasting passion for supporting mothers through pregnancy and birth and ultimately led me to pursue professional training and certification.

Over the years, i’ve continued to deepen my knowledge through education, hands-on experience, and specialized training. every birth I attend adds to that experience while continuing to remind me that no two mothers—and no two births—are ever the same.
