About me

Passion and a genuine desire to support and empower people is what brought me to birth work nearly 15 years ago. I am humbled and honored to be welcomed into the lives of my clients during such a personal, transformative time. I strive to ensure every individual receives compassionate and personalized care, paired with fact-based knowledge, so they feel confident and comfortable during their pregnancy, labor, birth, and beyond. As a Doula, I provide comprehensive support to expectant parents, offering physical, emotional, and educational guidance throughout pregnancy, labor, and beyond. Through in-person and virtual childbirth education classes, I empower individuals with knowledge about maintaining a healthy pregnancy, navigating labor and delivery, and caring for their newborns. Additionally, I serve as a trusted resource for evidence-based information on various topics including breastfeeding, postpartum care, and infant care. I am committed to accessibility and inclusivity, and I collaborate with community organizations to offer low-cost and free services to under-resourced individuals and families. In addition, I've established and maintain a bi-weekly breastfeeding support group, fostering connection and providing vital support to lactating individuals. Through collaboration with local healthcare professionals, including Midwives, Doulas, and IBCLCs, I actively identify and address challenges within the community, striving to create positive changes and support families in their journey towards parenthood.
