About me

My path to becoming a doula comes from both my clinical background and my lived experience caring for families. I am a registered nurse by training, and after moving to the U.S., I spent years supporting families as a nanny, building deep trust in their most intimate routines. Becoming a doula allowed me to reconnect with my nursing roots while offering something deeply human: calm, presence, and informed support during one of the most transformative moments of life.
