About me

I am a Registered Massage Therapist and postpartum doula serving the qathet region. I am passionate about supporting families in their first weeks and months with a new baby. I believe the transition to parenthood should not occur in isolation. Every birthing parent and their partner(s) deserve extended rest, mindful support and care while they recover from birth, learn about their new baby and bolster themselves for their new way of life. As your postpartum doula, I am a devoted member of your community, ensuring that you have the tools, education, rest and nourishment you need to thrive during your fourth trimester and beyond!
