About me

I am a holistic birth and postpartum doula called to serve women and families with compassion, care, and excellence. With over seven years of experience, I have supported mothers through pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum with a grounded, nurturing approach that honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. My mission is to create a birth experience that is peaceful, supported, and aligned with your personal preferences and care plan, while working in collaboration with your medical team. I believe birth is a deeply sacred and transformative journey, and every mother deserves to feel safe, empowered, and surrounded by calm, respectful support. I am CPR certified, Spinning Babies® certified, and breastfeeding support certified. I am also currently a student herbalist, with a passion for gentle, natural support in postpartum recovery and maternal wellness. I believe in the power of herbal tea care as a nurturing tool to support women through pregnancy and postpartum healing. I speak Portuguese, Cape Verdean Creole, and Spanish, allowing me to serve multicultural, immigrant, and bilingual families with cultural sensitivity and deep respect. Your story matters, and I honor your identity, traditions, and values throughout your journey.

Service introduction

I provide holistic care for women and families through every stage of the birthing journey. As a birth doula, I offer continuous emotional, physical, and spiritual support during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. My approach is rooted in compassion, prayer, and gentle guidance—helping families feel held, empowered, and covered in grace throughout the entire process. Alongside birth support, I offer placenta encapsulation for mothers seeking a natural way to support postpartum recovery, hormonal balance, and renewed energy. I also provide herbal womb steaming, a culturally honored practice that promotes healing, relaxation, and overall wellness, while maintaining Christian-centered standards of care and modesty. To ensure that all families have access to the support they deserve, I proudly accept MassHealth insurance for doula services. My mission is to create a safe, sacred, and culturally honoring space where every woman feels respected, uplifted, and surrounded by positive energy, and love during one of the most transformative seasons of her life.
