About me

I have been a doula for only a short time, but a lover of birth since age 6 when I witnessed my baby sister’s birth on our living room couch. My mom had been under the care of midwives for her entire pregnancy. I loved going with her to the midwife’s office and listening to the baby’s heart and watching all the normal exams. After 12 hours of labor, my sister made her entrance into the world. That moment of birth, seeing the baby’s head crown, then being fully born, and then her body following was absolutely magical and life changing and something I will remember forever. 

That profound experience led me to pursue a nursing degree, with the ultimate goal of becoming a certified nurse midwife. I hope to practice in both home and hospital settings, blending the intimacy of home birth with the resources of medical environments. I’m currently completing my nursing prerequisites and preparing to apply to programs, with courses in biology, chemistry, anatomy, and physiology deepening my understanding of the human body and its remarkable design. This knowledge not only fuels my passion for science but also informs my doula practice, helping me provide evidence-based support to my clients.

My approach as a doula is rooted in a strong belief in birthing autonomy. I focus on empowering parents through informed decision-making, helping them understand their choices and navigate the unexpected. Whether it’s a home birth that requires a transfer, an unmedicated labor that shifts to needing pain relief, or a cesarean birth, I work with my clients to ensure that they remain active participants in their care. We explore how to make even unexpected outcomes positive experiences by preparing both mind and body and staying in tune with personal intuition.

At the heart of this process is informed consent. As outlined by The Journal of Perinatal Medicine, “The doctrine of informed consent protects patients’ rights to voluntary consent or refusal of any medical treatment, procedure, or intervention based on information regarding the risks, benefits, and alternatives of care.” My goal is to provide clients with evidence-based information, empowering them to make decisions that reflect their autonomy and self-determination.

Whatever your birth preferences—whether a home birth with midwives, a hospital setting with minimal interventions, a medicated birth, or a planned cesarean—I will be there to support you. My role is to ensure that your choices are respected, your voice is heard, and that you feel empowered and informed throughout your journey. I trust in your ability to know what is best for you and your baby, and I will walk alongside you every step of the way, offering guidance, comfort, and support.
