I’m a thinker, listener, and “do it yourselfer”, as my mother would say–sometimes I climb into the freezers at the grocery store to reach the top back shelf instead of asking for help. I love spending time with family and friends over a home cooked meal, and most Saturdays you’ll find me at the farmers market purchasing ingredients for said meal. I spend loads of time outside with my adorable puppy and husband by my side. They’re the best playmates and adventure buds. I’m drawn to diving deep into intimate moments and experiences, and I think that’s one reason birth and postpartum speak to my soul.

​

It’s taken me a long time to learn about my inner strength, my intuition, and the power that results from doing the work to heal myself and the world around me. But, I am learning and birth is one of my greatest teachers. As a doula, I support families throughout the entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum process. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to pursue this passion of mine. Birth’s intimacy and transformation draws me in. I believe remnants of our births stay with us for our lifetimes, and to me this means birth can make the world a better place because it can change who we are and how we exist.

​

I’m here to support. As your doula, I use my knowledge and experience to calmly guide you by sharing evidence based information, so that you birth your baby in a way that resonates with you. I’m with you throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum to nourish you physically, mentally, and emotionally as you transform into parents. We begin working together in pregnancy when I teach you how to advocate for yourself by building relationships with your providers. We talk about questions to ask during pregnancy, what to expect as nearing birth, and we cover a multitude of options for coping with labor. At the birth, I am a continuous presence that calmly encourages and supports you. We talk through fears and emotions. I remind you that I believe in your intuition and power. Once your new family is home, I create space for your new family unit to bond and heal by offering gentle care for the parents and baby.

I would be so stoked to meet you! →
