You deserve care that sees what you’ve been through to get here; that is supportive of where you’ve been, where you are at, and where you would like to be.

Working with me as your doula means knowing that through the length of your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period, you hold a crucial part of my heart. Each birthing person and family is unique in their needs and wants for their birth experience, and it is an absolute honor to be able to learn who you are, what your preferences and desires may be, and to honor your right to make informed decisions based on what works best for you and your family. Birth support is not something that I take lightly. I come not as a guide to make your birth how I think things “should be”, but rather as a witness and companion, holding the lantern up as you do the long and sacred work of bringing a baby earthside.

It is our right to be empowered in our reproductive journeys, and to be protected in our right to make informed and educated decisions about what happen to our bodies. Although I cannot promise outcomes, nor can I promise that I know what will happen & when, if we work together, I will be there with you through your pregnancy and birth journey, with a calm, grounded presence through whatever may arise. We will navigate and adapt to different scenarios together, and I will hold space for your process. During your pregnancy, we will build relationship, create birth & postpartum plans as wanted/needed, and work through whatever may be coming up for you. During labor and delivery, I’ll be there with my big rolling bag of comfort measures, miso soup packets, and herbs, always down to roll up my sleeves and offer different hands-on comfort, position suggestions, and support in advocating for your needs in the birth space. I believe that supporting and empowering birthing families can shift generations to come, and hope that in working together, we can co-create a birthing experience for you that you are proud of.
