A dedicated doula, childbirth educator, and placenta encapsulator, driven by a profound mission: to create positive birth and postpartum experiences that redefine what’s possible for everyone. I’m here to support you on this incredible journey, making sure your experience is exceptional in every way.
My personal journey into parenthood started with the unexpected—a crash emergency cesarean birth as a single mom, welcoming my son. That pivotal moment opened my eyes to the world of birth and parenthood in a profound way. Feeling the weight of fear during that experience, I made a promise to myself: no mother should face the unknown with that level of apprehension, regardless of the changes or decisions life brings. My mission is rooted in addressing the gaps in care that exist for expectant couples. It’s about filling the void of guidance during this vulnerable journey, regardless of where the path takes you. Through my own experience, I came to realize the inherent strength and power we possess during the birth process. When I welcomed my daughter through an unmedicated vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), I recognized the potential that lies within all of us.
I am inspired by the way pregnancy, birth and postpartum transforms a person from woman to mother. It astounds me every time! When I walk into a room to find a laboring woman, my heart jumps for joy at the opportunity to help her in that present moment, on her journey into motherhood.
I am obsessed with making positive birth and postpartum experiences an outstanding norm for all. The keys to a joyful birth and postpartum experience are safety, security, preparation, support, and a calm mindset, all planned in advance to be by your side for anything that should arise. My aim is to activate these pillars of power in you to the best of my ability and to embrace what is out of our control. In choosing me as your doula, I do not judge the way you decide to labor or parent, but I respect your space by holding it with the utmost care. I support all types of births—unmedicated, epidural, or cesarean. It’s not about a specific path, but rather about empowering you to feel informed and confident throughout your unique journey into parenthood.
A bit about me: Personality-wise, I am strong-willed & pretty direct, with bits of sarcasm and humor mixed in. I am empathetic, intuitive and hyper-aware of situations that require attention, or sometimes just some reassurance that there is nothing to do. When I am not doula’ing, I enjoy playing classical piano, doing puzzles and playing games with friends and family, playing in volleyball leagues, singing in my car at the top of my lungs, dancing in my kitchen, cooking for family and friends, and discovering new holistic ways of living.
Here’s to an amazing journey for you and your family!
