About me

I have a long-time passion for mamas and their babies. For over 19 years, I have supported mothers by caring for children and am honored to continue serving families as a Doula while they transition into motherhood & beyond. I have experience working with families who choose to welcome their babies at home with a midwife, working with both midwives and OBs during medicated and unmedicated births in hospitals, inductions, high-risk pregnancies, and NICU stays. I am a Certified Birth Doula through DONA International, a Certified Lactation Counselor and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist trained through the International Placenta and Postpartum Association, and I am currently pursuing my certification to beocme a Certified Postpartum Doula.
