About me
Greetings, I’m passionate about supporting families as a doula. I’m a proud mom to one lovely little girl who inspires me every day. My journey into birth work began with a deep desire to help others feel seen, heard, and empowered during life’s most intimate moments. I graduated from Virginia State University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, but I found my true calling in the world of birth and postpartum care. Those who know me would describe me as genuine, warm, and incredibly attentive to the needs of others. I believe in holding space with compassion and providing thoughtful, personalized care to each family I serve. Being a doula allows me to combine my nurturing spirit with my commitment to making a positive impact in people’s lives.

I truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula. From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, supported, and respected. She always took the time to answer my questions, reassure me, and help me feel confident in the decisions I made for my birth. During labor and delivery, she was such a calming presence. She advocated for me when needed, encouraged me every step of the way, and helped me stay focused through one of the most important days of my life. I never felt alone because I knew she was there for me. Even after my baby was born, her support didn’t stop. She continued to check in on me and made sure both my baby and I were doing well. Her kindness, knowledge, and genuine care meant more to me than words can express. If you’re looking for someone who will truly support you, empower you, and make you feel cared for throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She helped make my birth experience so much more positive, and I’ll always be grateful for everything she did for me. Thank you for being such an incredible part of our journey!

My doula experience/services was excellent. This was my first time having a doula and Unique was very prompt to my inquiry for services. I was in my 3rd trimester when I inquired and established services due to insurance enrollment delay. My baby had been breeched since the end of my second trimester so Unique came over to do some exercises to try and turn baby. Unique was very supportive of my birth plan/vision for the delivery of the baby. Postpartum, Unique continued to check on the baby and I to ensure we were doing well. I chose to breastfeed and experience ld some challenges and she came to give support and some tips to improve. Unique was simply the best, I’m truly thankful for her and recommend her to any expected mother in search of exceptional doula services and support!

Unique was my doula, and my experience was amazing. Prior to my labor and delivery, she would check in with me multiple times throughout the week. Unique reminded me to stay hydrated, she attended doctor’s appointments, we went on walks and we talked about what to expect when it was time for birth. During my time at the hospital, Unique was very attentive and made sure I was well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula. Her attentiveness, knowledge and care were perfect for my situation. I highly recommend Unique!
