Since 2019, I have been working full-time as a Doula, providing personalized, informed, and holistic support to new families during the incredible journey of childbirth. With over 100 satisfied clients, I have developed my skills in multiple areas of birth work, including birth and postpartum doula support, birth photography, lactation support, and mentorship.
I work with expecting mothers and their partners to create a customized birth plan that caters to their specific needs and preferences. I provide guidance, techniques, and strategies that enable both parents to handle this life-changing event confidently. During labor, I offer emotional and physical support by aiming to meet all of the birthing person’s wishes and desires and being a calming presence to alleviate any discomfort or anxiety.
My expertise extends beyond the birth itself. I am also a certified lactation professional, providing guidance and support to new mothers as they navigate the many challenges of breastfeeding. I breastfed my own children until they were 20 and 25 months old (because when you breastfeed, every month matters), and I draw my guidance from a healthy mix of experience and comprehensive training.
In addition to my direct client work, I am passionate about mentorship and providing guidance and support to aspiring doulas as they develop the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to provide exceptional care to birthing families.
