About me

I am a Birth and Full Spectrum Doula who was professionally trained and certified in person with a local doula village in Madison, WI. I am also a womb steam practitioner and placenta encapsulator. I served local families before I moved to Harrisonburg this summer after getting married. I excited to serve this beautiful community! I am a Reiki Master Teacher and Herbal Healer who offers holistic approaches to ongoing healing. As a doula, I advocate for sovereign birthing and respects the choices of the family. Whether you desire to birth at home, a hospital, a birth center, need postpartum or loss support, I will be there with you every step of the way and beyond!
