In a nut shell: I believe in autonomy, and support women’s rights in making informed decisions regarding her birth and the care of her child. I am committed to helping the families I work with find resources and information so they can decide the benefits, risks and alternatives on what kind of care they want to receive or decline based on what is right for their family. Its important to meet together prenatally where we discuss a clear vision of your birth desires. We work together to create a birth plan. I help advocate for you and with you, and if needed, I help facilitate communication between you and your provider and other members of the healthcare team so the choices that are important to you are heard. So that you, the mother, can focus on what is important; your BIRTH.

I help set up an environment where the one giving birth feels safe, seen and supported, and that ensures her feeling protected and keeping her power.

I help your partner learn the stages and phases of birth , as well as comfort measures, position changes and affirmations. And we work together so that you are well supported.

There is a lot that comes with being a Doula, and its something I never take lightly. Being invited into a woman’s sacred space of giving birth is a privilege and an honor, that deserves the deepest respect. I am an ongoing student of my craft, and know I’ll never stop learning, as each birth teaches me something.

I am also a birth photographer and have had the privilege to record many birth stories, please visit my photography website.
