Hello! I am a newly trained doula, seeking my first clients to become officially state and DONA certified. I am getting into this work because I want to be able to help people feel empowered, both by providing information and emotional support. I really believe that maximizing informed consent and autonomy can make an enormous difference in our overall experiences, even if things are not able to go to plan 100% of the time. I truly believe that knowing someone is by your side, trusting and supporting you in whatever you feel is best for yourself, can be a make or break difference in almost all aspects of life. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are such a special and transformative time in a persons life and I want for people to be able to look back on their experience positively. I also place a high importance on personal and community health. I will wear a mask any time we are together, including home visits and the duration of the birth. If you or a loved one are immunocompromised and have extra requests for health precautions I am happy to accommodate. I am also very open to hearing any other disability accommodations that may be necessary.

I am able to offer our initial interview, two prenatal visits, attend the birth, and do two follow up postpartum check ins. I can also provide resource references for more specific care, if needed.
