I've always been passionate about pregnancy and birth, reproductive justice, and mental health. Being a doula naturally combines all of those! After I attended my first birth, I was instantly drawn to being a birth partner. Shortly after, I expanded my expertise to becoming a postpartum doula and lactation counselor, and then gave birth to my own child in 2021. I became a childbirth educator in 2025. I love being a doula because it gives me the opportunity to mentor birthing people and their families, to uplift them in advocating for their reproductive and mental health, and to validate their feelings, instincts, and celebrations. Every person has a right to be supported before, during, and after their birth. Birth is big. It comes with such a spectrum of emotions, joys, challenges, and experiences. I support parents to utilize their own strengths and abilities through all of the “bigness” of birth. I want to provide birthing people with a comforting, nonjudgmental, and empowering support as they and their families go through this exciting and sometimes emotionally intense life transition. I believe that every person deserves love and support; there is nothing special that you need to do or know or be in order to be worthy of it. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are unique to each and every person, and I honor each individual's choices. I offer my services to individuals and families of all walks of life.

I believe every birthing person deserves to feel heard, respected, informed, and supported throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. Birth is a deeply personal experience, and I believe you should feel empowered to make informed decisions that align with your values, needs, and vision for your family. My role is to walk alongside you without judgment, offer compassionate and evidence-based support, and help you feel confident, prepared, and cared for every step of the way. I bring experience, compassion, faith, and a genuine heart for families to every birth I support. Whether you are planning a hospital birth, birth center experience, or home birth, I am honored to support you in creating a positive and meaningful birth experience. My goal is to help you feel safe, respected, and encouraged while providing steady emotional, physical, and informational support for you and your family.

Birth is an experience that most women never forget in their lives. As a mother myself I reflect on my commencement from just being a young adult to becoming a Mother. In reflection I remember every single individual that was involved in not just my labor but my education, comfortability, and exciting changes. I remember feeling so excited but more importantly, so ready. That confidence and clarity as a first time mother is what I want for every woman. As a Doula, it is my passion to teach, encourage and care for the mothers in my care just as my family did for me. I want her to look back on this experience and not remember fear or pain but pride and courage. I look forward to discussing your unique vision for your birth and making this a wonderfully beautiful experience before during and after your delivery.
