About me

The journey to parenthood is beautiful, powerful, and sometimes overwhelming—but you don’t have to walk it alone. As a full-spectrum doula and founder of Sol Rise Doula, I am honored to support growing families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and loss with compassionate, evidence-based, and nonjudgmental care. My mission is to create a safe space where every family feels seen, heard, and supported. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby, welcoming another little one, navigating a high-risk pregnancy, or seeking support after loss, I am here to walk beside you every step of the way.
