About me

I’m an Elite Certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula, Labor Doula and Lactation Educator. I am also a support doula at Fourth Tri Sanctuary. I have been working as a doula for ten years, and have a passion for supporting the birthing person/mother and household during a very transitional time. New or new again families. I have a niche for infant feeding support, relationship /role support and overnight support. My goal is to part ways with your family as you’ve become confident in your roles & have your family thriving, more than ever, within your household.
