About me

I'm a Full Spectrum Doula and Perinatal Health Advocate. My goal is to provide exceptional care to all birthing parents, with special attention to historically marginalized communities. I offer comprehensive support throughout the reproductive journey, including pregnancy, fertility, pregnancy and infant loss, and abortion. However, I am currently focusing on supporting families during the postpartum period. Supporting the emotional and mental well-being of those newly postpartum is essential to the strength of the birthing person as well as their family. I believe that every family deserves compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. Whether you need emotional support, practical assistance, or educational resources, I am here to help you navigate the postpartum period with confidence and ease. My practice is built on the foundation of inclusivity and respect. I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment for all families.I understand the challenges that can arise during the postpartum period, and I am dedicated to providing the support needed to ensure a positive and empowering experience. My diverse training and certifications enable me to offer a wide range of culturally sensitive and informed care practices. Let's work together to create a nurturing and supportive environment for you and your family during this important time. I look forward to being a part of your journey and helping you build a strong foundation for your family's future.
