New life stirs,

a journey unfolds,

as the sun pools gold,

soft cries meet the daybreak glow.


Izzy Bonecutter, CD(DONA)

Welcome, it is wonderful that you are gathering a strong team. My birth philosophy is rooted in the belief that the process of growing life, giving birth to your child, and becoming parents may be the most transformational and significant life experience that you will walk through individually and as a partnership. I recognize the profound intimacy of being invited into this space and am wholeheartedly devoted to the care of the family’s I serve. It is my deepest intention to hold you, your partner, and your child with on a foundation of trust, encouragement, and peace throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe that my gift as your doula lies in my natural ability to remain a grounded pillar in the immense, swirling energy of birth. I support families to feel autonomy and empowerment through each phase of labor. I curate an environment and structure of support that encourages vital elements of a physiological birth, such as the flow of a mother’s birth hormones. Due to the nature of my continuum of care and presence with each family, I only support two births a month.
