BECAUSE THE WAY YOU BIRTH matters, AND YOU DESERVE A DOULA WHO gets it.
NO BULLSH*T, NO JUDGEMENT, JUST REAL SUPPORTRooted Presence was created for families who want more than a checklist or a cheerleader. Families who want real, grounded support through the full arc of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My years of experience as both a L&D nurse and a doula allow me to translate medical talk while also carrying trust for the deep inner knowing that parents carry into birth.What sets my doula practice apart is the balance: I can read the room during labor, advocate for your choices when your medical team gets weird about it, and adapt in the moment regardless of your birth environment. My presence bridges the gap in care by collaborating closely with the doctors during your birth at Barton, Carson Tahoe, or Tahoe Forest; ensuring your team works together seamlessly for YOU, not for convenience or hospital policy.This work isn’t one-size-fits-all. It's personal, powerful, and deeply human. And I’m here to support you through every raw, beautiful, chaotic step of the way. Because if you’re going to do this incredible thing, you deserve someone who’s genuinely in your corner.LAKE TAHOE birth DOULA, RN, AND CHILDBIRTH educator
FROM THE moment YOU DECIDE WE’RE A MATCH, I’M all in.
We dig deep from the start. Our prenatal visits get crystal clear on what YOU want and prep your whole team for what's ahead. You'll have real access to me – not just business hours, but when you're up at 2 AM with questions or need someone to talk through the what-ifs that won't let you sleep.
When it's time, I'm all yours. On call from 38 weeks, meeting you wherever you birth, and staying through delivery and those crucial first hours until you're truly settled.
I don't disappear after baby arrives. Multiple postpartum visits to help you process your birth, support feeding, and navigate this huge transition – because that's honestly when you need me most.
This is your chance to have someone who couldn’t give a hoot about hospital politics, but cares deeply about making sure your voice is always heard.
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.

KIND WORDS
“From the very beginning of my pregnancy, she was consistently reaching out, checking in, and making sure I felt supported every step of the way… I always felt like I had an advocate who genuinely cared about my well-being and was deeply knowledgeable… thanks to her, I felt empowered to make informed decisions and had a much more positive birth experience.”
- AMANDA
“Skye’s kind, patient, open minded demeanor turned out to be an incredible resource as I navigated the entire pregnancy. It’s hard to convey the scale of her positive impact from pre birth to labor and beyond but if I had to sum it up, I’d say she is one of the most thoughtful, open minded, grounded people I know… If you’re on the fence, lean in! I wish everyone could have a resource like her in their support system.”
- HANNAH O
“Our baby boy arrived three weeks early, and what started as a straightforward plan quickly turned into a completely unexpected birth experience. Skye was with us every step of the way… She patiently explained the options, advocated alongside us, and ensured we never felt overwhelmed or alone… She was an integral part of our birth story, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone navigating pregnancy and childbirth.”
