My clients often describe me as open, authentic, and empowering, these are the same traits that I will bring to your birth. I am a very hands-on doula, and my support is best described as intentional, soothing, and affirming. My clients say that I am “the anchor in their birth space” and “the calm within the storm”. With each birth, it is my goal to support your vision for your best birth. I have no agenda; your birth is your own. My goal is to share with you my knowledge, experience, and remarkable attention to detail so that you are able to navigate delivery with confidence. I approach birth work with a balance of warmth and directness to create a solid foundation of safety and support.
I am a Certified Labor Doula (CLD). I provide evidence-based birth support and trauma-informed care. I work with all varieties of families and enjoy the unique aspects of each. Honesty and inclusivity are core values of mine and I strive to create a warm welcome environment free from judgment for all of my clients. By combining your strengths, a knowledgeable and understanding healthcare provider, along with my experience and intuition, together we can work to give your baby the best birthday possible.

Experience: 2 years and 100+ births attended!
My clients trust me to create an environment based on integrity, and empathy. Holding space for individuals and couples who are navigating new experiences is my passion. My clients describe me as a soft grounding presence with a depth of knowledge that helps them navigate their transition into parenthood. As your doula, I create space for your voice to be uplifted while still honoring your need for advocacy in an unfamiliar environment. I provide you and your partner with the information, tools, and hands-on support you need to enhance your birth and new parent experience.
With a background in Social Work and Art Therapy from MWSU, I transitioned into doula work because I wanted to support parents in a way that honored the emotional impact of birth and parenthood. My work as a Doula allows me to combine my knowledge about birth and newborn care with my gentle way of guiding people in vulnerable spaces. I provide evidence-based support and trauma-informed care and I celebrate diversity in the individuals and couples that I support. Every family is unique. Dismantling societal expectations creates freedom to approach both your birth and postpartum experience in a way that feels right for you.
