As a doula and lactation counselor, I bring 20 years of experience as a sex educator and a lifetime of advocating for bodily autonomy to this work. I’m a mother of two and a sister who’s been the steady hand in four births. I know firsthand the electric joy, quiet terror, and raw, messy beauty of birth.
My care is equal parts lived wisdom and evidence-based practice, because you deserve to feel not just prepared, but powerful, every step of the way.
Everyone deserves a birth that’s safe, supported, and unapologetically yours.
As your doula, I'm here to:
Be your steady ground – Whether you need a calm presence, a pep talk, or just someone who won’t flinch (no matter what), I’ve got you.
Simplify the overwhelm – I cut through the noise, translate medical jargon, and help you make informed choices. No fear tactics, just facts.
Champion your voice – In a system that often rushes or dismisses, I’ll help you speak up (or speak for you, if that’s what you need).
Bring the comfort – From counterpressure to cool washcloths to “you’re doing this” reminders, I’ve got tools for every twist and turn.
✨ Unshakable support for your choices
🌱 Anti-oppressive care for all birthers
🤝 Partnership grounded in science and compassion
