Doula services
My goal as a doula is to assure that your wellness needs are met (food, water, and rest), as well as your partner's.
I nurture the space to assure that your partner is fully present and able to support you during labor. Their role is deeply needed, and a doula just helps close the support circle to make sure nothing falls between the cracks.
What is
the purpose of a doula?
Utah Birth Doula SErvices
We have experience, training, and familiarity with birth when we come into the birth space. We use that as a tool to assure that your communication between you and your provider leaves you confident and educated
I use that experience with helping your body relax and bring your body down. I bring experience of different laboring positions, comfort measures, and assurance into the birth space.

You were never meant to do this alone. You deserve someone who holds the space, knows the language of labor, and reminds you of your strength when you forget it yourself. Here are a few things that I offer.
* Why do I have various price points? I use the The Green Bottle sliding scale model to price my services. This allows me to ensure access to all families and honors the value of my work. My pricing is centered in trust and equity. Credit given to Alexis J. Cunningfolk for developing this model.

"Eva was an integral part of bringing my son earth side. She knew when to step in and offer help vs step back and let my husband take over. My labor was 30 hours and I never once wanted her to leave. I not only brought my son safely into this world but I also have the most stunning photos to remember it by"
What Sara said:
"Eva is simply amazing! She came and photographed my home birth and was very flexible for me to work with. She took the time to understand what I was wanting out of the experience and she was very respectful through it all. Having a stranger in your birth space can be so tricky but she was such a calm and quiet presence. She never made me feel uncomfortable or annoyed. The photos I then got back from her were stunning. She captured the feeling of the entire event beautifully and I am so so grateful that we hired her!"
what Savannah Said:
"I have had such an amazing experience having Eva as my Doula, she help educate me on my options and was amazing in the labor and delivery room. I was able to be in tune with my body and have a wonderful birthing experience. I imagine it would have went quite a bit differently without her there to help talk me through it. The photos I have received have been absolutely phenomenal as well!"
what Elizabeth said:
"Eva was an integral and powerful part of my pregnancy. I had many fears going into this as it was my first, I was terrified. Eva is such an understanding doula, I felt comfortable with her from the beginning. The prenatal care was wonderful, she provided some amazing reads for my husband and I to understand labor, and prepare for our lives to change. She was comforting as she listened to my fears. I felt listened to the entire time and she was so understanding.
I’ve always been terrified of hospitals so my birth was planned to be at home. Life didn’t work out that way and my baby needed to come into this world via c-section. Eva made my hospital stay comfortable, keeping me hydrated and with snacks, which was SO needed with my husband being busy tending to the baby and catching up on rest. She took beautiful photos that I will treasure forever and was never in the way whatsoever. Her postnatal care was so sweet and understanding as well, and she gave an AMAZING foot rub.
Eva was an amazing part of my birth team and I recommend her one hundred percent!"
what the lopez family said:
"I surrender to the process of birth, it brings my baby to me" I was safe and surrounded by love from my partner and baby. Suddenly, that process was interrupted when I was ushered to the hospital bed. With what felt like the last of my energy,
I will occasionally make suggestions and help them remain grounded, your partner will remain your number one support.
I will be there guiding, watching, supporting, and offering redirection if needed.
My rooted belief is that the birth space should be centered in the family. As a doula, I am assuring that I nurture that space and prioritize the two of you getting ready to meet your newest addition.
While I make suggestions and share recommendations, the priority will be allowing your body to naturally trust itself and your intuition. This also applies to your partner, as they know you the best of anyone in your birth team.
My approach
& support style
"I surrender to the process of birth, it brings my baby to me" I was safe and surrounded by love from my partner and baby. Suddenly, that process was interrupted when I was ushered to the hospital bed. With what felt like the last of my energy,
My experience influenced my photography and support methods. I am intentional with my camera and support. My priority will always be to help mothers/birthing people create the atmosphere of love to help bond with their baby and partner- uninterrupted. When you look back your photos, I hope you see the divine power of birth comes within you. Your contractions, presence, and force every experience, found within you. This is the story and memory that you are creating with your partner & your baby.
"I surrender to the process of birth, it brings my baby to me" was an affirmation my doula repeated to me during labor. There was a healing energy that surrounded me in labor. My life partner held me, I would not let him leave my side. His embrace is what grounded me. I was safe and surrounded by love. Suddenly, that process was interrupted when the hospital staff ushered me to the hospital bed, instructing me through every following stage.

"Quote or something to read."
There is not one specific way "the best birth" would look like. As a parent, you intuitively know what your ideal birth looks like for you. Creating and communicating your birth preferences help your team understand how they can best support your ideal birth. Not only should your birth team be on board with your birth preferences and goals, but your location should too. The environment of a home birth is very different from a hospital, and your goals, values, and ideologies might be better supported in one location more than the other.
