Birth & Postpartum Doula
Sacramento, California
About me
I became a birth and postpartum doula after completing my training through Birthing Project USA in 2020. I began my doula business to address and help circumvent the racial disparities African American women and other women of color face in the medical industry. I loves educating all mothers to inspire positive prenatal experiences and to better equip them for labor, delivery and postpartum. It brings me joy to support moms during such a special and intimate time. I love encouraging them as they learn and grow more confident on their journey to childbirth.

Closing of the Bones Ceremony
The Closing of the Bones ceremony is one way to honor the mother by acknowledging the immense changes her body has undergone in pregnancy and childbirth and assists in bringing her spirit back into her own body. This practice involves a series of massage and binding techniques to realign the pelvis, close the hips, and offer emotional closure. Benefits include potential relief from postpartum discomfort, support for pelvic realignment, and a symbolic transition to motherhood.
This ceremony is conducted approximately 4-6 weeks after vaginal delivery or 8-10 weeks after cesarean section and is completed within approximately 2 hours.

Frequently asked questions
What is your philosophy about pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum?
To equip expectant mothers educationally, emotionally, mentally and spiritually so they have the knowledge and the confidence to trust their own instincts.
How many clients do you support a month?
Currently, I take 2 clients per month with due dates approximately 2 weeks apart. No more than 3 if clients due dates are around the beginning, middle and end of the month. The spacing is to ensure I am present at each birth.
What happens if you can’t make it to my birth?
In the rare case that I am unable to attend a birth, my certified backup doula will be present to offer support in my place.
How do you feel about an epidural?
I support the idea that the mother or birthing person allow their body to do as it was naturally designed to do. However, I will support whatever decision is made and will educate the mother/birthing person about that decision so they are fully aware of the pros and cons.
