I’ve had two very different birth experiences, and both deeply shape the way I support families. In 2010, I gave birth to my oldest daughter in a birth center tub - an experience that was empowering and affirming in ways I still carry with me. In 2013, I gave birth to my youngest daughter at 32 weeks in a hospital. I experienced empowerment during that birth in ways I hadn’t anticipated, and I embraced it completely. She spent three weeks in the NICU and leaving her there each night remains one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.
Experiencing both ends of the birth spectrum has given me deep compassion for all birth paths and a strong respect for how
unpredictable and personal birth can be.
As a birth doula, my approach is simple: I meet you where you are and support you in getting where you want to be. I provide evidence-based education, help you navigate your options, offer hands-on comfort measures, advocate when needed, and hold space for your decisions - without judgment and without agenda.
It is an incredible honor to be invited into such an intimate, life-changing moment. I show up with compassion, experience, and a steady presence, grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to give birth - only what feels right for you. My role is to support you in feeling informed, heard, respected, and confident as you welcome your baby and step into parenthood.
