About Breathe Into Birth
The name Breathe Into Birth comes from my own experience with my second baby. I surrendered to what my body was made to do and leaned on my breathing techniques to have the unmedicated hospital birth I had hoped for (and didn’t get) with my first. That experience lit a fire in me to help other women feel that same sense of power and confidence. And by that, I don’t just mean having an unmedicated hospital birth—unless that’s your thing—but I mean feeling bold, strong, and unstoppable because of what you accomplish.
As your doula, my goal is simple: help you trust your body, trust your instincts, and achieve the birth that feels right for you. This experience isn’t about me or anyone else on your team—it’s about you. My role is to guide, support, and provide evidence-based information so you can make decisions that feel like a whole-body yes. And when you do? I’m cheering you on 100%. Always.

Throughout my labor when things got rough, hearing Megan in the background (phone) was helpful to me because at times I felt like I wasn't handling the pain well at all. Having that support overall made me feel a lot more empowered to speak up for myself. Also, coaching my partner in how to advocate for me was a huge help."

"Megan understood my concerns regarding having a 'big baby'. Initially, during the first conversation after explaining everything, I kept thinking, 'see, I'm not crazy!' It was helpful going through the birth plan, which had things I hadn't thought about and explaining my options for each part of the birth."

"It brought a lot of relief to have someone else in my corner. Megan is very friendly and easy to talk to. I felt immediately at ease from the first conversation. Megan was great at validating my feelings and she always responded in a timely manner."
