Hi! I'm Monica - a wife and mother of four beautiful children, as well as an occupational therapist. Some of my greatest joys are family, dolphins, my faith, SW FL sunsets, and traveling.
The role of birth doula is a special one because my personal experiences really demonstrated firsthand that how you are treated in birth will leave long-lasting impacts on your mind, body and emotions.
I believe that every birthing woman deserves the utmost respect and undivided attention throughout our time of working together. Mindful, I bring calming energy, an assortment of comfort measures, and a huge heart to each birth I attend.
Though intense, labor can be wonderfully rewarding, with the right preparation and people by your side.
Thank you for considering me to be your doula. It is an honor and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Feel free to reach out to Monica with any questions, comments, and inquiries you may have, or to schedule a complementary consultation. Phone: (941) 465-6850 Email: monicalifelinks@gmail.com
