Hello Families! I am a full spectrum perinatal care worker specializing in lactation and postpartum doula support. I am certified as a lactation counselor from UCSD and a DONA trained Doula. I believe in providing evidence based care while integrating holistic methods that have been passed down between women for generations. I began working with women and children in 2011 as the Executive Director of The Live Well Project. From there I took my passion abroad and lived in Nepal for 6 months working with local families and learning first hand how they supported birthing mothers. In 2020 I decided to formalize my training in Lactation and then Doula work. I am a San Diego native and have two children of my own (plus a fur baby!) I would love the opportunity to connect and see how I can support you in your parenthood journey!

As a postpartum doula, I’m committed to offering gentle, reliable support that helps your family feel grounded, confident, and truly cared for after birth. I believe it truly does take a village! Through my own journey with a spirited toddler, I’ve experienced firsthand how transformative (and challenging) the shift into parenthood can be. For the past two years I have worked as a full-spectrum doula, now devoting most of my practice to supporting families in the postpartum period, and have had the privilege of serving more than fifty postpartum families. My calling to this work is deeply personal. Having lost my own mother during adolescence, I grew into my maternal nature early. That experience shaped my understanding of how essential nurturing, presence, and steady support truly are, especially during the vulnerable days and weeks after birth. I bring that perspective into every home I serve. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and practical. I aim to create a calm, affirming space where parents can rest, heal, learn, and feel genuinely cared for. At the heart of my work is a simple mission: to make a meaningful difference for families during one of the most tender and powerful transitions of their lives.

My mission is to support and empower women and their partners throughout pregnancy and during the labor process as they transition into motherhood. I serve all of San Diego and the surrounding areas and provide support at home births, hospital births, and birthing center births. My commitment to my clients is to provide you with advocacy and support for whatever you decide your birthing experience should be. I have supported all types of birth experiences, including unmedicated births, epidural births, C Sections, VBACs, gestational diabetes, placenta previa, “geriatric” pregnancies, teen births, and many more. From our first encounter, I strive to make you feel safe, supported, encouraged, and listened to. My background as licensed marriage and family therapist helps me to integrate skills of therapeutic support into your pregnancy experience. Additionally, I strongly believe that your birth partner is one of your greatest assets. To this end, I encourage all partners to be involved during our journey together.

They say if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. I found my passion as a postpartum doula and have not worked a day since. In the current culture parents have so much pressure to be perfect and do it on their own. I have made it my mission to educate parents on the benefits of having support during the fourth trimester, and that it truly does take a village.

Hyping mamas up to receive the care they deserve is my jam! My professional training as a Certified Lactation Counselor, Birth, and Postpartum Doula has allowed me to focus on my caregiving skills and love for helping families make smooth transitions through such a new time in their life. As a woman of color, I know how important it is to feel seen and heard instead of being considered just another number. When we work together, I can assure you that you will receive the care and attention that your family deserves. This is the time to be nurtured and tended to instead of stressing about reading the right books or if you’re feeding your baby too much/too little. I’m your guide to assist with anything from creating a birth plan to meal prepping for your family during early postpartum. When you’re ready to enjoy this process and receive luxury care, don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

I’ve been a labor and delivery nurse for the past 7 years and have attended over 1600 births. I’ve worked at three top hospitals including Cedar Sinai in Beverly Hills, Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, and Scripps hospital, La Jolla. I am a RNC-OB, registered nurse certified in obstetrics as well as a lactation education counselor. I’ve taught labor and delivery at the university level and find teaching very rewarding. Education is at the heart of women’s empowerment. At Rising Lotus Birth, I provide support to pregnant women throughout all phases of care including prenatal visits, birth doula services, and postpartum visits. You may be wondering why I became a doula while still practicing in the hospital setting. My explanation is always that over the years I’ve noticed an overwhelming need for more patient advocacy, education, and birth support in order to achieve better birth outcomes. Birth is my passion. My goal is to help you achieve a better birth and postpartum experience!
