Personalized Experience You Can Trust

Every birth is unique, and so is every family. Whether this is your first child or you’re adding to your family, my role is to support you with care, respect, and the personalized attention you need during this special time.

Experience You Can Trust
With more than 1200 births attended and thousands of doulas trained, I bring a wealth of experience to your birth journey. This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the trust, understanding, and compassion built with each family. I’m here to share this knowledge and support with you, providing both comfort and confidence as you prepare for your baby’s arrival.

WHERE TO FIND A DOULA
Finding the Right Doula
I'm not the right doula for everyone, and that's okay.
Doulas Know the Match Matters
I encourage everyone to interview multiple doulas. Experience is a great benefit, but the most important thing is that you and your doula are a good match personality-wise.
Go With Your Gut
The doula interview is designed for both you, your partner, and the doula to have a chance to see if it's a good match. You are inviting someone into a really special time in your life - you want it to be comfortable for everyone.
