We created Calm Birth Alliance because we believe birth should be a well-informed, and empowering experience. With seven births between us, across two healthcare systems (U.S. and U.K), and our training as doulas, we blend both practical wisdom and emotional support to help women trust their bodies and embrace birth without fear. 

  • Meet Harriet

    Harriet blends her background as a physician and mother of three to guide families through pregnancy and birth with calm, confidence, and compassion. Her practice is rooted in deep knowledge, empathy, and a belief that every woman can trust her body and her birth.

  • Meet Gayle

    Gayle helps families approach birth with confidence and clarity. She combines evidence-based education with intuitive care to create an empowering, personalized birth experience. Gayle’s goal is to help you develop a birth plan that includes specific details about how you want your birth to go and to provide emotional support throughout the perinatal process.
