My goal as your doula is to support your growing family in having a birth in which you are aware of your options, feel confident in your choices, respected by your support team, and cared for in your birthing time.

My approach to birth is grounded in an appreciation for evidence-based decision making. Being aware of the data doesn’t mean you’ll make one choice or another — the research is there so you can choose the path that is right for you and your family.

Aside from my background as a massage therapist, I have a long history as a nanny and personal care attendant, as well as bouts of community organizing and small business mentoring.

Birth, bodies, and community are what lights my heart on fire.
