I am certified in Labor with a specialization in VBAC Births. I am a certified Postpartum + Infant Care Doula and a Lactation Counselor. I have 6 years of labor and postpartum experience and have supported nearly 100 families. I am trained and certified through ProDoula for Labor, Postpartum + Infant Care and as a VBAC Specialist. I am trained and certified through Childbirth International for Lactation. I attend the Spinning Babies workshop annually as the tools I learn from it are the ones I use the most during Labor Support. Supporting families is something that has always come naturally to me. Having me as your doula is like having a friend, advocate, educator, birth/baby nerd, cheerleader, helper and listener all in one. Your philosophies are my philosophies. I will honor and respect what you need while understanding those needs will shift along the way. It’s my job to adapt and attune along with you and your family. It is an incredible honor to be welcomed into your family during such an incredibly sacred time. I am so lucky to be able to work in a field that I am so passionate about. I never understood what a dream job was until I became a Doula.

I am a single mother of two strong daughters named Hera and Amara. They keep me grounded with their fierce love while simultaneously keeping me on my toes. They are continually growing, shifting and adapting to the world around them.

When I’m not doula-ing or mom-ing, you can find me enjoying a latte at a local coffee shop, gardening, baking a loaf of sourdough, playing rec softball and rooting for the Lions.
