I am a woman who believes in the power that we posses as women, the ability we have to manifest the life we desire and the strength to overcome trials and tribulations. I also believe that we are compassionate, loving, sensitive and caring beings. I trust your decisions regarding your body, your birth, and how you choose to care for your newborn. I am here to support you on this journey. 

​

Prior to becoming a Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, I was a Middle School educator and Instructional Facilitator. The same qualities that enabled me to succeed in the classroom and with the teachers I coached, are the same ones that position me to support my clients; the way they need, the way they desire.

​

My goal as your Doula is to provide customized support, education, resources, coaching, and nurturing for you whether you are focused on delivery or your transition to life with your newborn. It is my mission to increase positive birth outcomes by increasing confidence, decreasing discomfort, and minimizing interventions. I also aim to lessen the probability of postpartum mood disorders and promote healthy postpartum recovery.

​

• helping clients delivery naturally
