About me

I was called to serve families postpartum after experiencing deeply nourishing and restorative postpartum doula care during those first few weeks with my son. I love providing new families with the gift of time to bond with their new child and of a steady presence to build their parenting confidence alongside. I serve new families by anticipating and attending to the many changing needs in the early postpartum period - rest and recovery from birth, facilitating baby-parent bonding, setting up the home to service new baby care, baby care guidance and truly finding your confidence and intuition as a parent.
