Doula Offerings
⁘Abortion⁘
Providing nonjudgmental, compassionate support during the abortion process is a deep passion of mine.
It can be overwhelming navigating all of the options available, as well as the complex emotions that may arise. There are many ways having a doula can make a huge impact on the abortion experience.

Pricing for all doula services varies. Contact me to discuss your individual needs.
⁘Miscarriage⁘
Pregnancy loss is one of the many areas in society where there is a great need for support.
There are many ways to support the body during and after miscarriage, through the use of nutrition, body work, plant allies, and ritual.
It is an honor to provide my skills to support this process.

⁘Birth⁘
While I am passionate about birth and it is my life’s purpose to be a midwife, I am not currently taking on birth clients at this time. I will happily make referrals!

Flower Essences
Flower essence sessions are a fun way to get to know the spirit of a plant. They work on the emotional body, rather than the physical.
Have an idea for a private class?
I love sharing my passion for herbalism with others who are excited to learn! I love teaching and would be happy to offer a workshop about a specific topic.
Testimonials:
“Bonnie is an incredible practitioner that helped me when I was in a time of immense need,
and had little to no access to the resources that I was in need of. It is not an exaggeration to say that Bonnie was a lifeline for me. Her knowledge of herbal medicine combined with her sense of spiritual purpose makes her an amazing support person for this work. I felt supported fully and held in all of the complexities and practicalities of experiencing a pregnancy release.” —Anonymous, miscarriage doula client

"Working with Bonnie as a clinical herbalist is a fantastic experience.
She goes above and beyond in her detailed care plan and really takes the time to understand what's going on. I learned so much through the process of working with her - not just about herbs, but also mindfulness, rhythms of nature, feminism, community resources, etc. I felt so cared for and seen throughout the process and knew that I could reach out for clarification as needed. I will continue to utilize Bonnie's depth of knowledge whenever needed. I am so grateful I found her!”

“Bonnie is an earth angel. I'm so grateful to have had her support through my release.
I live in a state that is very conservative and makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to find a solution to these sorts of things. Bonnie listened to me and guided me through what to expect, how to support myself, and what to watch for. I came to her with questions, she came back with answers. I didn't have many other people to turn to that I would trust with something like this...and Bonnie was the perfect support and exactly who I needed to be on my team. I can't imagine going through this experience alone or with anyone else. She is such a tender and kind woman and was there for me every step of the way. This is the work she's meant to be doing - and I am so so grateful to know someone who could lend an ear, a hand, and her expertise while I navigated one of the most painful & challenging times of my life.” —Anonymous, abortion doula client

“I am so grateful to have connected with Bonnie.
As a clinical herbalist, she has supported me in addressing the root cause of chronic conditions such as endometriosis and myalgic encephalomyelitis, and I have approached her about more acute matters too. She engages with receptivity and attunement; I fully feel acknowledged by her. I admire her intuition, knowledge, and commitment to research in crafting a protocol. Her deep level of care is palpable. We had a thorough intake and continue to follow up to adjust the protocol as necessary. Her protocol for me identified patterns and proposed therapeutic strategies such as nutritional shifts, flower essences, herbs, supplements, and other practices. A definite gift of hers is in forming connections, I value her perspectives and her proposed strategies have been of immense benefit to integrate. The experience of chronic illness can be a lot, but I feel more capable of addressing and managing it with Bonnie’s support.”

“I was so grateful to have Bonnie by my side as I went through this process.

“We LOVED having Bonnie as a doula for our son’s birth!
Bonnie was informative, supportive, and helpful throughout my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey. She informed me of the choices I had throughout pregnancy and delivery and allowed me to feel empowered in my decision-making process. With her education and guidance, I felt like I consciously chose my prenatal, birth, and postpartum plan and care within the hospital and medical system. Bonnie’s experience and wisdom brought awareness to areas of the childbearing continuum that would have otherwise gone unnoticed to us as new parents. She coached me through my discomfort of receiving help and assisted us in setting up a plan for postpartum support. I cannot imagine what we would have done without that in place. Her grounded, loving, warm, kind, and accepting energy offered me so much calm and comfort throughout the entire process, but especially through the birthing marathon. Bonnie offered us such crucial love, generosity, and support in welcoming our first child, she will forever be considered an honorary member of this family.” -Cali Simpson, birth doula client

"Bonnie actively supported me in the time prior to, during, and following a pregnancy release.
She supported me remotely due to location differences but this has not diminished her presence or support! The support she offered me as an abortion doula was educational, emotional, logistical, and nutritional. She recommended flower essences, herbs, and other practices to prepare for the release as well as for the postpartum experience. Her suggestions facilitated the healing process and sought to replete nutrients. The resources and support she offered were attuned to what I needed. She held space for all of what I felt and her empathetic and warm presence brings about an easefulness. Whether in-person or remote, Bonnie is a tremendous ally to have!” —Nicole G

“Working with Bonnie was such a relief, especially when I felt like I had no one to turn to.
I decided to have an abortion using misoprostol, and the process with my OB/GYN was pretty hands off after taking it. Bonnie assisted me as I had an abnormal amount of bleeding in the weeks/months after. I reached out to my OB about the blood loss I had—she was incredibly dismissive of this complication, and gave me no guidance, and no support. Bonnie supported me in monitoring my blood loss, guided me on which herbs to use to slow the bleeding & to support my uterus and my hormones, and helped me understand what options I had if the bleeding did not stop. This education allowed me to make the best decision for myself.
Bonnie is a wealth of information—she has so much experience with women during this time. She was really able to guide me and help me understand what my body was going through, what was within the norm, and what wasn’t. I honestly am so grateful to have had her during this time.

“Bonnie helped me during a really stressful time in my life.
I was transitioning careers and applying for grad school during the peak of Covid. She listened with compassion and gently offered affirmations. Her herbal recommendations were thoughtful and thorough. As an herbalist myself, she suggested herbs that I didn’t know yet, helping me expand my relationships to some new friends. I loved that Bonnie was available virtually across state lines too. I would absolutely recommend Bonnie as an herbalist practitioner and as an informed, kind, passionate human.”
