About me

As a birth doula in Northeast Ohio, I am passionate about providing families with compassionate, knowledgeable, and individualized support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My goal is to empower you with the information and confidence needed to navigate your birth journey with strength and assurance. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or navigating a high-risk pregnancy, I am here to offer emotional, physical, and informational support tailored to your unique needs. With a calm and empathetic presence, I work alongside families to ensure they feel heard, respected, and supported in their birth choices. In addition to birth planning and labor comfort techniques, I offer comprehensive postpartum services, including support with recovery, breastfeeding, newborn care, and helping parents adjust to life with their baby. I assist with soothing techniques, feeding routines, and creating a nurturing environment for both parent and infant. It’s an honor to walk alongside parents during this transformative time, offering unwavering support and advocacy as they welcome their baby with joy, confidence, and care.
