About me

I am a Christian birth and postpartum doula called to serve women and families with faith, compassion, and excellence. With over seven years of experience, I’ve supported mothers through pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum with a heart grounded in Christ’s love. My mission is to create a birth experience that is peaceful, prayer-supported, and spirit-led, while honoring your medical care team and your personal preferences. I believe birth is holy, purposeful, and deeply sacred — and every mother deserves to feel safe, empowered, and surrounded by grace. I speak Portuguese, Cape Verdean Creole, and Spanish, allowing me to serve multicultural, immigrant, and bilingual families with cultural sensitivity and deep respect. Your story matters, and I honor your identity, traditions, and spiritual beliefs throughout your journey.

Service introduction

I provide Christian, holistic care for women and families through every stage of the birthing journey. As a birth doula, I offer continuous emotional, physical, and spiritual support during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. My approach is rooted in compassion, prayer, and gentle guidance—helping families feel held, empowered, and covered in grace throughout the entire process. Alongside birth support, I offer placenta encapsulation for mothers seeking a natural way to support postpartum recovery, hormonal balance, and renewed energy. I also provide herbal womb steaming, a culturally honored practice that promotes healing, relaxation, and overall wellness, while maintaining Christian-centered standards of care and modesty. To ensure that all families have access to the support they deserve, I proudly accept MassHealth insurance for doula services. My mission is to create a safe, sacred, and culturally honoring space where every woman feels respected, uplifted, and surrounded by Christ-centered love during one of the most transformative seasons of her life.
