HEIDI GROSS

International Doula Institute Certified Birth Doula

Hello, I'm Heidi, your birth doula! Congratulations on your pregnancy, this is such an incredible season of your life. I am so excited to be here with you to help you embrace your birth and your precious baby with natural peace and confidence.

The Natural Doula was created with the the idea that every woman can embrace their natural confidence when allowed to birth without a mindset of fear. This includes being provided with adequate information to make an informed decision about your birth, so that your labor & delivery is truly YOURS, and not anyone else's. No one else is calling the shots, you are your baby's mama, and only you know what is best! As an advocate, I am prepared to provide you with the tools to embrace your own positive and peaceful birth experience, whether you decide to birth naturally, with an epidural or pain medications, or a c-section.

In addition to being a Certified Birth Doula, I have a B.A. in Spanish Language from Whitworth University. Because of this, I love that I am able to reach, support and be a voice for clients who speak both English and Spanish.

Contact me below. Let's talk. I can’t wait to meet you!

You've got this mama!

“When the mind is free of stress and fear that causes the body to respond with pain, nature is free to process birth in the same well-designed manner that it does for all other normal physiological functions” -Hypnobirthing
