My doula journey began 5 years ago while living on the beautiful island of Hawaii. Living in Hawaii was such an experience for me. The culture and dynamic there was truly eye opening, especially the birth culture. I started supporting clients during the peak of covid, which led me to really focus on childbirth education due to the limitations in the hospitals at the time. My first two babies were the traditional induction/hospital births and after my training and working with families, I was able to apply my knowledge with my last baby. I hired a doula for myself and was able to see how wonderful our bodies truly are. My passion for birth and supporting women only grew from here. I am so passionate about bringing families the education and support they desire while they embark on this wonderful journey of parenthood!

I have been a birth/postpartum doula for almost a year. I have experiences in both the home and hospital. I also have my placenta encapsulation certification and breastfeeding peer support certification. I have assisted numerous families with breastfeeding. My friends and family calls me the breastfeeding guru. I have 2 boys and they are the reason why I am in the line of work today. I have had both hospital and home birth experiences with my two. I’ve breastfed my oldest for 2 1/2 years and I am currently breastfeeding my now 2 year old. I believe that every birthing person’s journey through pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum is very sacred and needs to be supported in every way.

I have worked in pediatrics since 2012 but have always been passionate about lactation due to my own personal struggles while breastfeeding my son. I made it my mission to help others and have been an IBCLC (Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant) since 2021. I struggled with my supply, latching, pain, and an undiagnosed tongue tie but I also struggled with postpartum anxiety, depression and OCD. I specialize in perinatal mental health and feel that it's a vital area to take into consideration with lactation.
