Staff Doula | Certified Health Educator

Witnessing mothers discover their inner strength to bring their babies into the world is incredibly inspiring. Birth demands both physical and mental resilience, and seeing families recognize their capability is profound. I am passionate about ensuring a smooth transition to parenthood through education and preparation. I believe in the power of social support and the importance of relationships surrounding the birthing person. I am a strong advocate for birth satisfaction and ensuring preferences are being honored to the best of our ability to protect the mental and physical health of mom and baby. My favorite part of being a doula is witnessing the birth of a new family dynamic. Whether it’s the intense love between mother, baby, and partner, or the relief a mother feels after birth, these moments are incredibly rewarding. Women are truly remarkable.
