Meet Serena O'Dwyer ~ SnoCo Doula & Henna Artist

It's a real joy working with families as they explore their birthing options and acquire a desire for a customized birth. I like to build the kind of relationship that gives mom and dad the comfort of having a friend in the room. A funny, intuitive and helpful friend.
