Hello! I'm so glad you're here!
At Guiding Hands Birth Services, I am committed to providing unwavering emotional, physical, and informational support to birthing mothers and their families. I understand that the journey to parenthood can be empowering, transformative, and challenging, and my mission is to embrace each family's unique journey and provide personalized care every step of the way.
My Story
Hi, I’m Debbie, the heart behind Guiding Hands Birth Services.
I’m a proud mother of six beautiful children—two born in the hospital, one precious angel baby, and three amazing bonus kids who’ve added so much love to my life. Each of these experiences shaped the person and the doula I’ve become. My own path into motherhood wasn’t always easy, but it was powerful, transformative, and deeply humbling. It’s what ignited my passion for standing beside others as they walk their own birthing journeys.
With a background in pre-nursing and years of hands-on experience supporting a wide range of births, I bring both professional knowledge and heartfelt understanding into every birth space I enter. I believe that birth is not one-size-fits-all—and that every person deserves a birth experience that aligns with their values, their body, and their voice.
My mission is simple: to provide you with the education, encouragement, and emotional support you need to feel confident and empowered—whether you’re planning a hospital birth, a home birth, or something in between. I’ll be there to listen, advocate, and hold space for you and your growing family every step of the way.
This is more than a job for me—it’s a calling.
And it would be my honor to walk alongside you.
