About me

Hello! I am a mom of two, full spectrum doula and student midwife in Tacoma, WA. I’ve spent the majority of life supporting people in various and capacities, but found my calling in supporting families through the perinatal period. “It takes a village” is something I grew up on, but also stand and as a mom myself I know that finding that village can be difficult. My goal as your doula is to help bridge that gap and support you during what some consider a very vulnerable and changing journey. I aim to meet families where they are at and in ways that feel most comfortable for each client. I would love to connect and see if I would be a good fit for you!

Service introduction

As a certified doula, I offer compassionate, personalized support and advocacy for pregnant people throughout the perinatal journey. My goal is to become part of your village—supporting you and your growing family as you welcome your baby. I provide a blend of educational, physical, and emotional support, including comfort measures, guidance through labor progression, positioning, and honoring your unique wants and needs every step of the way. Because every birth is beautifully different, I don’t follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I meet you where you are, offering care that feels right for you and your experience. My Birth Doula Package includes: • Initial consultation • 1–2 prenatal visits • Continuous labor and birth support • 2 hours of immediate postpartum support • 1-2 postpartum visits (if desired) **I can accept FSA/HSA payments or provide invoice/recipient for reimbursement.
