About Me
I am here as a pathway to help show you your own power. You are strong. You are love and you are loved. With my support, you can have the birth and postpartum experience that you desire and you can thrive. Navigating the health care system is really hard and I can be a voice of advocacy for you and an invaluable resource.
Your care and comfort measures will be personalized for you. I love the moments when I am working with a family and I see that something clicks for them and they realize how amazing they are! I am here to help hold you in one of the most vulnerable, joyful, difficult, and incredible times of your life.
My long term goal is to have an impact on marginalized communities. Doula care, especially support during the postpartum period, is seen as a luxury to many people, because it has become more inaccessible. I aim to serve all families and parents, especially those that are not always able to get the care that they need. I am always very mindful of the various identities that I hold and my clients hold and keep those in mind as we get to know each other. I am always open to sliding scale payments as well for my clients.
My Experience
I received my Full Spectrum Doula (CFSD) certification from Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings in 2023, and I have been supporting families in this period of life for years.
I was inspired to become a doula after many years of working in daycare and Montessori school settings. As I built relationships with families, I saw the lack of perinatal care and resources for new parents and decided I wanted to change that. I feel called to make a difference for all birthing and postpartum people. I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQ + people, single parents, and first-time parents.
My experience is in doula care, infant day-care settings, non-profit work, and milk banking. Outside of doula care, I currently work at the Mother’s Milk Bank Northeast as a donor intake specialist.
I am a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS) and offer lactation counselor services. I am also working towards earning my IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant certification) and being able to further support families in their lactation journeys.
