She/Her

Discovering My Passion

As a mother of five, I embarked on a transformative journey that led me to discover my true passion – supporting families through the beautiful and complex experience of childbirth. It was during the homebirth of one of my children that I had the privilege of being surrounded by an incredibly supportive birth team. This profound moment ignited a fire within me, inspiring me to become a full spectrum doula and provide the same unwavering support to others.

A Free Spirit and Educator

Before embracing the path of a full spectrum doula, I spent many years as an educator. My free-spirited nature guided my approach, always seeking to empower and uplift those around me. Now, as a doula, I bring this same spirit to my practice, offering nurturing care and guidance to families as they navigate the various stages of reproduction.

Expertise and Training

Armed with a bachelor's degree in science and training in holistic nutrition, I bring a well-rounded and holistic perspective to my work as a doula. My academic background and expertise in nutrition allow me to provide comprehensive care, focusing on the physical and emotional wellbeing of both parent and baby.

Embracing the Full Spectrum

To me, being a full spectrum doula means embracing the entirety of the reproductive journey. From fertility counseling and prenatal support to labor and birth assistance, I am there for you every step of the way. Beyond birth, I offer compassionate care during the postpartum period, including support for miscarriage, loss, and abortion. Additionally, I provide valuable guidance on postpartum nutrition, infant feeding, and sleeping.

Empowerment and Inclusivity

As a person of color, I deeply understand the importance of being heard and respected. It is my mission to ensure that every client I serve feels valued and empowered to make informed decisions throughout their reproductive journey. My practice is open and inclusive, providing support and advocacy to people of the BIPOC population, the LGBTQIA community, individuals from diverse family structures, and those with varying abilities. Furthermore, I offer flexible payment plans, scholarships, and bartering options to ensure accessibility for all.

Mindful and Holistic Care

My doula practice is built on a foundation of evidence-based practices, mindfulness, and holistic care. I believe that nurturing the mind, body, and spirit is essential to a positive birth experience. Through a combination of emotional support, education, and evidence-based techniques, I strive to create a peaceful and empowering atmosphere for every family I serve.

My Vision and Aspirations

My ultimate goal as a full spectrum doula is to expand access to positive birth experiences for as many families as possible. By providing unwavering support, compassion, and a voice during this sacred time, I hope to contribute to a world where every person feels supported and respected on their journey to parenthood.

Beyond the Doula Role

When I'm not attending to the beautiful miracle of birth, I enjoy spending time outdoors, camping, and immersing myself in nature. Reading and cherishing moments with my family bring immense joy to my life.
