About me

Birth is not a personality trait. It's practice, clarity, and support. I'm a second-generation birthworker and Full Spectrum Doula with nine years of experience. I walk with families from conception through postpartum, and my practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, Black and Brown resilience, and care for all bodies and identities — including size inclusivity and LGBTQ+ affirming support. I specialize in helping parents navigate unmedicated births, VBACs, cesarean recovery, and parents over 35. As a Childbirth Educator, Community Lactation Educator, and Maternal Health Consultant, I meet you where you are with high-touch, personalized care. As a yogi, I weave mindfulness, breath-work, and movement into care, helping families find balance and resilience in real time. Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or a partner trying to make sense of it all, you're welcome here. Let's nurture this journey together.

Service introduction

Nourish to Flourish Childbirth Education series will give you tips and tools for managing common pregnancy complaints, teaching mindfulness techniques, and other topics so that your body can be in the best shape during labor. You will learn about different positions for labor and birth, pain relief measures available to you, what to expect from your partner who is there with you through it all. ​We will explore everything childbirth education touches: advocacy/communication skills, preparation of yourself prior & post-birth (eating well + sleeping), emotional adjustment (being prepared for baby blues and dealing with grief), the instinctive primal process of labor and giving birth as a natural part of being human, to name a few.
