About me

I'm a New Yorker of Caribbean descent, a tomboy at heart who loves hard, plays sports, and is creative. A former educator, I see pregnancy as sacred community work and my clients as family. My doula philosophy is rooted in radical presence, cultural humility, and Christ-centered service. I believe every birth deserves advocacy, informed choice, and a warm village wrapped around it. My intention is to create a safe, judgment-free space where families feel seen, heard, and held in their full stories, whether in joy, grief, or the in-between. I try to live out the Acts-church model, showing up, sharing life, and walking alongside families as I follow God's divine direction while continually learning and growing. I've been a doula for about five years and am now on my journey to become a midwife, carrying that same heart of service into clinical care. Serving the community is my daily bread; I get to serve God's children with my hands, my skills, and my presence, and that is what truly gives me life.

Service introduction

I offer comprehensive doula support from pregnancy through postpartum, including prenatal visits to craft birth plans, continuous labor companionship with comfort measures like rebozo and counterpressure, and postpartum nesting with breastfeeding help, newborn care tips, and grief tending if needed. As a student midwife in South Bay, I weave clinical wisdom into signs of harmony, balanced emotional flow, physical ease, rhythmic breathing, and intuitive connection between the birthing person and baby, helping families recognize when labor or recovery feels aligned and sacred. My services honor your unique story with cultural humility, advocacy, and village warmth, whether it's a hospital birth, home vibe, or VBAC journey.
