About me

Hi, I'm Aly! I am a Labor & Postpartum Doula, Yoga Instructor, and hold my Masters degree in Social Justice. I am a nurturer and advocate! ​Clients have described me as empathetic, calm, appropriately humorous, knowledgeable, and unafraid to speak up to ensure that both the birthing person and baby are safe and comfortable. I strive to make every environment as empowering, warm, and equitable as possible. I am passionate about being a mama & partner, running, cooking, hiking my way through National Parks, finding the best lavender latte in town, and most of all, building meaningful relationships with others. I will nurture you, empower you, keep you well-fed and rested, and support your choices and questions as you prepare to welcome this new life. When your baby is born, you are also born as a parent. I’m here to hold you through that amazing (and sometimes overwhelming) shift in identity. Let’s connect!

We are beyond grateful for the incredible support we received from our doula, Aly. From the moment we met her, she was warm, informative, and reassuring — exactly what we needed as first-time parents. She’s very smart and effective! Her presence during labor was invaluable; we truly couldn't have welcomed our daughter into the world without her calm guidance and encouragement. But Aly’s care didn’t stop at birth. Her support in the days and weeks afterward made such a difference as we navigated the early stages of parenthood. Whether it was answering our endless questions, offering emotional support, or simply helping us feel more confident in our new roles, Aly was there every step of the way. We can't recommend her enough—having her as part of our journey was one of the best decisions we made.
