Birth is a precious life event, yet the preciousness of this manifestation of a new life does not alleviate the natural stress that comes with it. My heart breaks at the gaslighting and shame that society casts onto birthing people and parents for not having it all together. I became a doula because birthwork weaves together the best aspects of myself, from my sweetness and sensitivity to my knowledge of plant medicine and the subtle body; I know being in service to birthing people/new parents is a part of my divine calling. I approach birthwork with the core tenants of supporting and empowering my clients by helping them build an intimate language with their own intuition and body, curating the physical space to encourage a sense security and affirm rest, and facilitating the process of decision making by keeping your personally identified values in focus, providing comprehensive information and resources, and ultimately holding the container for the client to make autonomous decisions from a place of groundedness.

I am an avid forager, wild food enthusiast, off-grid homesteader, and community herbalist, who chooses to live a life close to the land's seasonal rhythms, including the natural life and death cycles. I first 'became' a doula in 2017, having been guided to this work over the past decade and a half by my own health ailments, in addition to my love for providing support to others. Initially, my search to understand my own body led me to a fascination with the endocrine and reproductive systems (or womb space), and from there emerged deep awe and curiosity about the process of childbirth. In addition to my love for the science and emotional support aspects of pregnancy and birth, I have a keen love and respect for children. I feel honored and excited to get to be involved in their first moments, days, and weeks of life on Earth. I offer full spectrum doula care in supporting all outcomes of pregnancy – birth, pregnancy release (abortion), miscarriage, loss – and postpartum care. Additionally, I offer holistic health and herbal medicine support, if desired.

Doula work has been a calling for me. I discovered what a doula was when I was completing a prenatal yoga training in 2015. I became fascinated with the birthing process and outraged at the amount of birth trauma, maternal mortality, and overall negative experiences families were having in the system. I attended my first birth that year and knew this is something I would be spending my life doing. The transitions of birth and death are sacred and deserve reverence. It is a privilege to hold space for others in this way. I became a postpartum doula in 2016 and enjoy providing the much needed support for not only the first 40 days, but continuously through the first year and beyond. Healthy mothers are foundational for a healthy society and it is joyful for me to feed, nurture, and love on new moms as they give that same support to their newborns.
