About me

I believe all women should have empowering and uplifting births. As your doula I aim to provide you with informative, emotional, and physical support throughout your pregnancy, in labor, and postpartum. I emphasize the importance of nutrition throughout your pregnancy AND postpartum. I also love to provide all my mamas with useful handouts to help you figure out what your own birth philosophy is, what questions you should be asking your provider, and local resources for things like lactation or counseling support.

Service introduction

I offer prenatal support in the form of providing you with information to know regarding prenatal appointments and tests, as well as questions to take to your provider. I provide both virtual or in person meetings to discuss what you want to get out of this experience, and then come up with a birth plan outlining your desires. I’ll be there for your birth to provide emotional and physical support, and to make sure your voice is heard when you are at your most vulnerable. In postpartum I provide a couple home visits and provide you with a wide range of resources, meal planning, childcare for any older kiddos, and even some house tidying. I can cater your package to your needs and desires because not every mama needs support in the same way! I’m here to give you a tailored experience to meet you where you are 😊
