What I stand by
My approach is heart-centered & nonjudgmental
My goal is for parents to feel safe & empowered to make informed choices
My style is gentle, casual, straightforward, & nonhierarchical
I value humor & make space for joy
Birth is a beautiful, humbling paradox. In the same moment, we summit both the peak of our own strength and vulnerability.
As your doula, I’ll meet you where you are & never bring an agenda of my own into your space.
In practice, support from me looks like:
Active listening
Reflecting confidence in your ability
Reminding you that your body is smart as hell
Bringing a stabilizing, calm, & perceptive presence
Centering postpartum planning, rest, & nourishment
Helping you preserve your agency through and through
Sharing evidence-based information & talking through scenarios
Standing as a filter between you & Google search spirals

Trained with BADT as a Full Spectrum Doula & Child Birth Educator, reinforcing practices that are: trauma informed; actively anti-racist; + queer and trans birth centering.
