PREPARE FOR A hospital birth THAT FEELS informed, SUPPORTED, & LIKE YOURS.
NURSE BRAIN. DOULA HEART. NO BULLSH*T.Hospital birth preparation, virtual pregnancy support + in-person doula presence from an experienced L&D nurse turned doula | Serving moms virtually and families throughout South Lake Tahoe, Carson City + surrounding areas. You’re in the right place if you want to feel prepared for your hospital birth without spending your entire pregnancy trying to figure out what you don’t know.
You want to understand your options before they’re being presented to you in a hospital room
You want your partner to actually know how to support you
You want to be able to ask better questions at prenatal appointments, make informed decisions without second-guessing yourself, and walk into birth feeling like an active participant
That’s where I come in. I spent years working inside L&D, and now I help moms feel READY for their hospital birth with the kind of context, support, and straight-up conversations I wish every family had before they ever checked into labor & delivery.
HOSPITAL BIRTH PREP, built around YOU
Whether I’m your local South Lake Tahoe birth doula OR SUPPORTING YOU virtually FROM AFAR, we start long before labor begins
We go deep from the very beginning. Together, we'll get crystal clear on what you want for your birth, work through your biggest questions and concerns, and create a roadmap that feels aligned with your values.
You'll never be left to figure it out alone. Whether it's a scheduled session, a quick question that's been weighing on you, or one of those late-night "what if..." spirals, you'll have someone in your corner to help you sort through the noise. Always.
Every family's journey looks a little different, so the way we work together is intentionally personalized. Whether we're preparing virtually throughout pregnancy or I'm supporting you in-person through birth itself, my goal is always the same: helping you walk into your birth feeling calm, informed, confident, and never alone.
It's about having someone who couldn't care less about hospital politics, but cares deeply about making sure your voice is heard and respected.
HEY THERE! I’M SKYE - birth DOULA, NURSE, & CHILDBIRTH educator
I started Rooted Presence because I was sick of seeing incredible families go through one of the biggest moments of their lives without the care and presence they truly deserved.
With years of experience, I bring a steady presence, strong intuition, and practical tools to help you feel clear, confident, and supported through every phase. From our first prenatal conversation to the early weeks of life with your baby when you’re wondering what the hell just happened, I’m on your side with whatever it is you need. I take the time to get to know you, your unique birth vision, and what truly matters most to your family.
