My doula philosophy is centered around collaboration, creativity, and trauma-informed care. As both a trained doula and licensed social worker, I deeply value the creative collaboration and energy exchange that is foundational to building rapport, trust, and emotional safety with others. We all hold a multitude of lived experiences and emotions as we navigate conception, pregnancy, loss, birth, and everything in between. My goal for our work together is that we find a shared rhythm where you feel empowered in your body, prepared for your birth, secure in all the tools & skills you have to ease into a restful postpartum, and supported in your postpartum recovery.

- ON CALL 24/7 starting at 37 weeks until baby’s arrival - Call or text support from time of hire - On-going resource sharing!*A note on film photography - Through film photography, I will document your birth story as it naturally unfolds. Similar to birth, film carries an element of the unknown — requiring patience, surrender, and trust in what will emerge. This might mean that photos may be blurry! My hope is to capture honest, lasting images that reflect the depth of your experience and shape how your story is felt and remembered.

I offer daytime and overnight postpartum support to both birth clients and non-birth clients.
Daytime Support (minimum 4 hours) is about meeting your family's needs in ways that are most helpful to you. Let's chat about what you're looking for!
Overnight Support (minimum 8 hours) focuses on helping you rest while your baby is cared for. I will stay with your baby through the night — resting when they rest, bringing them to you for feeding or feeding them myself if they take a bottle, changing diapers, soothing, and following their natural sleep-wake rhythm — so you can focus on getting the rest and recovery you need.
