I’m a birth and postpartum doula with ten years experience helping families grow in health and happiness! I provide judgment-free information and support about pregnancy, birth, infant feeding, and newborn care. My goal is for families to feel thoroughly informed and supported throughout the childbearing journey!

I have been working as a birth doula since 2012, and as a postpartum doula since 2017. I'm a DONA-certified labor doula, Lamaze-certified childbirth educator, Certified Lactation Counselor, Postpartum Doula, and Bereavement Doula. I'm DONA-certified for the use of a TENS unit in labor, a Hypnobirthing doula, and have completed specialized training in optimal fetal positioning, and trained as a homebirth midwife's assistant. I am also the former co-leader of the Northern New Jersey chapter of ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) and facilitator of a new parents group. I have four kids of my own, the first born by csection for failure to progress, and the other three in-hospital vbacs. I often say I'm not just a doula, I'm a doula customer--I've given birth both with and without a doula, and can honestly say, a doula makes a difference! My approach to labor support is "whatever works''! I will help you get the information you need to make your own decisions, and then I support you every step of the way. I have attended everything from homebirth to scheduled csection, so I am very much used to the multiple variations birth can present!
