About Me

Hi, I'm Valerie Woitte! I'm a certified birth and postpartum doula. Years ago, with the birth of my daughter, I knew that women need to feel supported and safe during labor and delivery, and it became my passion to guide, support, and nurture laboring mothers and their partners through this life-changing event. After working for a third-party administrator for over 25 years, I decided to follow a dream and become a birth and postpartum doula, and I'm honored to be part of this life-changing event at every birth.

I feel as though my life and the births of my three children add real value to the work I do with mothers and their partners. I knew with my very first birth just how needed a doula is by the side of every laboring woman; I still remember begging the nurse not to leave my side while I labored. Her experience and nurturing presence gave me the strength to labor and feel secure, and that's exactly what I hope to offer every family I serve.

My goal is to work with women and their families to create a safe space to labor and deliver, and to experience the full joy of birth. I would especially love to support low-income mothers and teens by providing affordable birth support and care.

Educated and experienced in childbirth and the postpartum period, I provide physical (non-medical), emotional, and informational support to women and their partners during labor and birth, as well as to families in the weeks that follow. I offer a loving touch, positioning, and comfort measures that help childbearing women and families feel truly nurtured and cared for.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is centered on educating and meeting the emotional needs of each client and serving them in a way that aligns with their own choices and values. I meet each family where they are, honoring what matters most to them.

I want my clients to feel safe, valued, and held in a calm, steady presence. Through reassurance, gentle care, loving touch, and comfort measures, I strive to be the nurturing presence I once needed myself, so every family feels secure and cared for throughout labor, birth, and beyond.

Overall, my goal is to help you feel safe, valued, and supported, reassured by gentle, compassionate care every step of the way.
