About me

As a compassionate and experienced maternal health nurse, I bring a strong foundation of clinical knowledge along with a nurturing, intuitive approach that makes me a natural fit for postpartum doula work. I’ve spent years supporting new mothers and families through the delicate transition of the fourth trimester, offering not just medical insight but emotional reassurance, practical education, and culturally sensitive care. My background includes virtual and in home visits, helping families feel safe, seen, and empowered from the comfort of their own space. My philosophy is rooted in a holistic view of healing by honoring the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the mother and family. I believe in creating a calm, supportive environment where new parents can rest, bond, and recover while receiving personalized guidance on infant care, feeding, and postpartum wellness. I value intuitive listening, evidence informed practices, and community connection, and I’m deeply committed to walking alongside families with warmth, respect, and nonjudgmental support.

Service introduction

I offer compassionate and personalized postpartum doula services designed to support families as they adjust to life with a new baby. My care includes hands on or virtual postpartum support, newborn care education, emotional encouragement, and light household help, all tailored to each family's unique needs. I also provide lactation support, drawing on my clinical background and experience working with nursing mothers to help troubleshoot common challenges and promote confident, successful feeding whether breastfeeding, pumping, or formula feeding. My goal is to empower parents, ease the transition, and nurture the whole family during this important time.
