Hospital birth doula support
Who is looking out for me?
"How is the baby?"
is not the same question as
"How are you?"
And the second one deserves an answer.
In the delivery room, things move fast. Decisions get made around you instead of with you.
Postpartum, when it gets hardest, is when people start showing up less.
So while everyone is focused on the baby, you start to feel invisible.
You're pregnant.
Birth is full of unknowns.
A doula helps you create the birth experience you want by giving you the nurturing, evidence, and advocacy you'll need to stay as close to that vision as possible.
ANTICIPATE
You don't know what you don't know.
I help you think through your hopes, fears, and choices before labor begins — so the decisions you'll face don't catch you off guard.
ADVOCATE
Things move fast. Your voice can get lost.
I'm there to help you understand what's happening, ask the right questions, and stay connected to what matters most to you.
INTEGRATE
The hardest part can come after the baby arrives.
I keep showing up while you heal, process what happened, and step into who you're becoming.
Ask questions. Feel it out.
No pressure.
This isn’t
guesswork.
I asked 100+ mothers what they needed most before, during, and after birth. I built my practice around what they shared, alongside formal training in women's health from Harvard Medical School.
Working together is simple.
We'll talk about your birth, your questions, and what kind of support you're looking for.

A note from Perrin:
I know what it feels like to need someone in your corner.
I became a doula because no one should have to move through pregnancy, birth, or postpartum feeling unsupported.
Certified birth doula serving families in Newton, Wellesley, Weston, Wayland, Needham, Natick, Dover, Sherborn, Medfield, Worcester, Boston, Cambridge, and the Charles River suburbs.
Grounded in training, birth-room experience, and the conversations that taught me what mothers actually need.
What it feels like.
With her support, I had a truly wonderful and redemptive birth experience. Her work will always be highlighted as an essential part of my birth story.

The difference Perrin made was night and day. My wife described this birth experience as truly positive — something she didn't think was possible. Not once did we feel like we were on our own.
— Jimmy
Perrin was such a lovely calm energy at my birth, calm and silly at the perfect times. She knows what she's doing. 10/10.
