About me

Hi there! I am a full spectrum doula (birth, postpartum, and even stillbirth/miscarriage/abortions) serving the Spokane and North Idaho areas, and have experience with twin births, intervention-free births, and births with no interventions involved. I serve birth people however and wherever they would like to birth. When I'm not attending births and helping postpartum families, I'm fostering kitties for a local rescue, while also loving on my new grandson. I can't wait to be able to support you!

Frequently asked questions

Why are birth doulas helpful?

Research shows us that a ton of things happen when a doula is present for a birth, such as helping the birth person have a more positive birth experience, that have less interventions during labor and delivery. Having one present lessens the chance of the delivery ending in an emergency c-section. Having a doula present decreases the length of labor, as well as decreasing requests for epidurals. Doulas help to lower stress and and anxiety during labor, and we also give support to not just the laboring person but their partner, as well.

What if I can't afford to hire you?

Please reach out! I'm more than willing to be flexible, with payment plans and even decreased pricing if that's the only thing stopping you from utilizing my services. I want every birth person who wants and needs support, to have that support.
