About me

I am a certified doula offering grounded compassionate support through birth, postpartum, and end of life. I gladly work with all people and family structures / identities and I am a safe and affirming space for LGBTQ+ and progressive /alternative families and ways of living and loving. My approach begins with listening. I take time to understand the needs, hopes, and realities of each client and family, and from there we build a path together. Through birth and postpartum, I offer grounded presence, clear information, and ongoing support as you make plans, gather resources, and navigate change. I bring steadiness and care without overriding your voice, offering guidance while staying responsive to what you need along the way. My practice is affirming queer and welcoming of all genders, family structures, and identities.
