I am an experienced, trained, and certified birth doula and an advocate for changing the birth narrative in our world. Overcoming the heartbreaking loss of my mom through childbirth, I faced my own fears through my three births. During those experiences, I uncovered profound strength, resilience, and courage beyond my wildest imagination. Birth invites us on a journey of self-empowerment. It would be my honor to be your guide as you courageously step into your own birth story, the same way I did.

I am a Master Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, and certified Lactation counselor. The happiness and well-being of children and families have always been an interest of mine. I have had several careers working with infants and families including being a professional nanny and owning a small swim school primarily for infants and toddlers with special needs. I have targeted training focusing on infant and toddler development, perinatal mental health, infant nutrition, lactation and a wide variety of parenting philosophies such as RIE and gentle parenting. My knowledge base and specialized experience working in the private home sector include: coordinating and collaborating with additional staff, traveling privately with clients, providing evidenced based care and parent education, maintaining multiple nurseries in different locations, navigating varying climates, and working with multiples. In addition to postpartum support, I am an American Red Cross Instructor who is active in my local community teaching new parents and caregivers CPR/First Aid. The services I offer reflect what I value most: providing parents with opportunities to obtain sweet sleep, serenity, and peace of mind; knowing that their children are in great hands. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling, skiing, swimming and spending time with family.
