WELCOME
Life is filled with transitions - some are joyful; others are more difficult. In either case, a doula can help by supporting you with dignity, by honoring your decisions, and by helping to make your decisions known.
ABOUT THE RIVER DOULA
Up Close & Personal
Hi, I'm Megan. I've long felt a draw to transitional spaces in life, and began my journey toward full-spectrum doulahood in 2022. I offer doula services from birth through death, and am honored to support the LGBTQA+ community as well as people of all varieties of faiths. I specialize in open and caring discussions, and I seek to ensure you feel fully supported as you traverse your own river of healthcare experiences.

Birth Doula Services
As a birth doula, I am dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment for expecting parents. I understand that each birth is unique, and I help to create a personalized birth plan that matches the needs of each individual. Furthermore, I am honored to be an LGBTQ+ friendly service that provides compassionate support for all families.
I guide parents through labor and delivery, offering care and comfort before, during and after the birth of their baby.
End of Life Doula Services
As a death doula, I provide end of life support to those facing a terminal illness and to their families. I specialize in providing emotional, physical, and spiritual comfort and support through the end-of-life process. In addition to providing companioning services, I also offer guidance through life reviews, legacy projects, death plans, and am able to provide vigil services.
My mission is to create a sacred and safe space that honors the dying process, while helping to ensure that the wishes and needs of my clients are respected and met. I am here to provide unconditional love and compassion during a time of uncertainty and grief.
