Senior Labor and Birth Doula, Massage Therapist
Certified Labor and Birth Doula, Licensed Massage Therapist
Aloha, and welcome to your next steps as a growing family!
I’m Desireé Turner—a certified birth doula, prenatal/postpartum massage therapist, and lifelong nurturer at heart. My doula journey began very part-time in 2018, and I fully stepped into offering birth support in 2025.
My path into healing began early. Growing up in a small country town in Utah as the youngest of five, I was always called on to ease the tight shoulders and aching backs of my parents and older brothers. As our family grew, I had the privilege of being deeply involved in my nieces’ and nephews’ lives—first watching them grow up, and now admiring as they bring their own families into the world. These sacred transitions have shown me the power of a strong, interconnected tapestry of support—something I now aim to offer every growing family I serve.
With over 16 years of professional massage experience, I’ve come to deeply understand and read how the body holds stress—and how intentional touch can bring relief, grounding, and healing.
My work has centered around two seemingly opposite, but equally essential specialties: prenatal massage and athletic/medical bodywork. One supports softness, empowerment, and emotional connection. The other restores balance, relieves pain, and enhances function for those with physically demanding lifestyles. Living in that contrast taught me something profound: each body carries a story—and every chapter deserves skilled, compassionate care. That understanding naturally led me to birth support and has taught me to bring all these attributes into every situation.
As a doula, I provide intuitive emotional support, physical comfort techniques, advocacy, and a calm, grounded presence. My approach is flexible, centered on you—your strength, your choices. My goal is for your birth to be your most beautiful and empowering experience.
I’m so honored to walk beside you on this journey.
Desiree was absolutely amazing and I’m so grateful I had her by my side! 🤍 She provided so much hands-on support during labor, especially with counterpressure, which helped me tremendously. She also advocated for me by suggesting other options to both me and my medical team when Pitocin was being discussed, while still respecting my wishes and birth plan. I truly felt heard, supported, and empowered throughout my entire birth. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula! 🤍
