Hey There

I am a spouse, a parent to four beautiful children, an assistant infant teacher at daycare, a family (and soon to be community) herbalist, and lover of all things of the natural world. Some of my favorite things are hiking, reading, researching, and spending time with babies!

​

It was shortly after giving birth the second time, over 9 years ago, that I learned what a doula was. I have taken many paths throughout the course of my life, but all share the same core: supporting others. I have been working in daycare since I was in high school, but have also tried jobs working with people with disabilities and the elderly. Consistently I have found myself more and more drawn to babies and parenthood as life progresses. Birth is such a beautiful part of the circle of life and I want to be able to enrich this important experience for others. 

​

It is incredibly important for me to provide my services and advocacy to those who don't have much accessibility to a doula among other resources. I am confident in saying that the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities can rely on me to be fundamental in their safe and respected birth experience, as well as teens and others who struggle financially.

​

One last thing I'd like to tell you about me is that I am a CODA, which stands for Child of Deaf Adult(s). Because of this, signing is my native language. I use a blend of SEE and ASL and also attended ASL and Deaf Culture courses in college to expand the knowledge further than what I knew from being raised by Deaf parents. I have the ability to directly support Deaf parents throughout pregnancy, labor, and birth without the need of a certified interpreter.
