Hello! My name is Sydney and I am a full spectrum doula in Baltimore City! I am from Annapolis, Maryland, and currently live in Baltimore near Patterson Park. I attended Temple University, where I studied Anthropology with a concentration in human biology, and continued to live in Philadelphia for about three more years before moving to New York, and then back to my home state. In 2019, I started gaining an interest in birth work through my studies, and decided to volunteer with Baltimore Doula Project as an abortion doula and the Philadelphia Alliance for Labor Support (PALS) as a birth and postpartum doula. In 2022, I became a certified full-spectrum doula through Cornerstone Birthwork, and started taking my own clients independently. While in Philly and New York I attended 40+ births and served 20+ families during the postpartum period. I currently work Independently providing in-person and remote support, as a travel doula, and with Doulas of Baltimore providing birth and postpartum support for families in Baltimore City. I embrace the overall diversity of my work and experiences as something that has made me a very well-rounded doula. One of the most important things to me as a birth worker, is autonomous care. Outside of my studies, I am a very passionate and outspoken advocate for sexual and reproductive health education, accessibility, sexworker rights, and human rights. In my free time I love to sew, thrift, go to social events, swim, and enjoy nature. **I accept Medicaid and Carrot Fertility Benefits**
