I believe in informed consent and bodily autonomy. As your birth and postpartum doula, I’ll provide information, resources and emotional, physical and practical support to you and your loved ones so you can maintain your right to choose and understand your options as you cross the threshold of becoming a parent. And while I know that no one can guarantee any specific outcome, I also know that when you are supported and heard, that can have an immensely positive impact on your experience no matter how your birth physically unfolds.
WHAT I CAN OFFER
-
Advocacy
No one can walk your path for you but that doesn’t mean you have to walk it alone. Through education and resource sharing, I will provide unwavering support of you making informed choices that reflect your needs, traditions & desires.
-
Support
Whether you’re a first or fourth time parent, my goal is to create space for you to focus on what's most important and to help provide you with tools that will empower you in this transition. Each family is unique and so is each care plan.
-
A Container to Process
Crossing this threshold comes with a flood of sensations and emotions, often conflicting and always transformative. I'll be a steady presence to gently witness, deeply listen, affirm and anchor you.
Me and my practice are LGBTQIA+ friendly, Trans affirming, anti racist and inclusive to all bodies, births and family structures
I offer sliding scale rates for BIPGM, LGBTQIA+ and disabled folks when able. When you book me at my full rate, you are helping to subsidize the cost of services to marginalized folks.
Want to make a donation to help make doula care more accessible?
That’s amazing.
These funds allow me to offer more sliding scale rates to more folks. Thank you for being a part of a community of care.
