I am becoming a postpartum doula because I want to nurture and support families during such a tender and life-changing time. I believe parents deserve just as much care as their newborns, and my goal is to provide comfort, reassurance, and a helping hand as they heal and adjust. I especially want to be there for first-time parents and families without strong support systems, offering not only guidance but also a calm presence they can lean on. In the next five years, I see myself fully certified and running my own practice, creating a safe and welcoming space for families to feel cared for and understood. Beyond birth work, I enjoy cooking and reading, both of which inspire me to bring warmth, creativity, and patience into my life and the way I support others. Becoming a doula feels like a natural extension of who I am someone who values community, healing, and the simple comforts that help people feel at home.

I am a compassionate and non-judgmental person who takes joy in helping families build confidence in their parenting roles.

I have always been passionate about doing work that provides deep, meaningful support. After years of working as a nanny, and my own experience in becoming a mother, I found the support for new parents to be nearly non-existent. When my kids were born I felt very unprepared and alone. I became a doula because I know how hard postpartum is. I know how it feels to be exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure of yourself as a new parent. I also know it doesn't have to feel that way. My business was brought to life because of my passion for helping new families not just survive those early postpartum days and weeks, but to thrive. You don't need to do this alone. As a new parent, you deserve as much nurturing care and community as your baby. I want parents everywhere to flourish during postpartum. You deserve to be heard, cared for, and allowed to rest. Being able to provide non-judgmental support, warmth, and ease some of the stress of those early days of parenthood is truly my passion and a dream come true. When I'm not caring for amazing families you'll find me enjoying my kids, our two cats, reading, and gardening.

My journey started when I finished my studies in early childhood education in Brazil and worked with children of all ages including children with emotional and behavioral disorders.

I also had the amazing experience when I had my own sunshine boy, and being a mother is so unique and wonderful but also very challenging. Today I am so accomplished to do my job as a postpartum doula! I know the importance of having a Doula to help, and support a mother and family in their pre-birth, delivery and also in the difficulties encountered in the postpartum journey.
