About me

Hi all! I'm a DONA Trained Birth & Postpartum Doula, and my main goal is to make sure families feel heard, respected, and supported at every stage of their journey. With my educational background in public health and maternal & child health, I strive to create a safe, empowering space for families to thrive emotionally, physically, and mentally. Additionally, I’m committed to offering evidence-based resources to families so they feel more equipped and are provided clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. My own experiences have shown me the power of control over chaos, and this understanding deeply informs the way I approach my work. I believe that by fostering a sense of calm and control, families can navigate even the most overwhelming moments with confidence.
