Postpartum limits/restrictions: The early newborn days are beautiful and also exhausting in ways no one can fully prepare you for. You were never meant to do this alone. At Chicagoland Birth & Baby, our postpartum doula and overnight newborn care support is designed to help families move through those first weeks with more rest, more confidence, and more support. Whether you need a full night of sleep, help settling into your new routine, or simply an experienced, calming presence in your home, we’re here for you. Imagine waking up feeling rested enough to actually enjoy these fleeting moments with your baby. That’s not a luxury, it's support.

Attends hospital births? All Hospitals
I support clients at all hospitals across the Chicagoland area. Our most frequented hospital is Evanston Northshore with the NSAGO midwifery group, but support hundreds of families across the area in both low-intervention physiological births and high-risk/ high-intervention births. Each family has their own unique story and needs that deserves compassion and personalized support to have a birth experience they feel is positive and empowering.

Attends birth center births? All Birth Centers
We support births at all birth centers including those in southern Wisconsin.

Attends home births? Some Home Births
I enthusiastically support homebirths with the midwifery model of care. Homebirth is a lovely and safe option for most families who are interested in this environment.

Training Documentation

Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

Having trusted support in both birth and postpartum has been a longtime passion of mine. I started my career in the clinical setting within a typical OBGYN office and pediatrics. I had my own two children and two very different birth experiences throughout my 20s. One semi-high-risk, unmedicated, doula-supported birth and one very high-risk, semi-medicated premature delivery with a NICU stay. The difference between having a doula and not having one was a turning point for me and my future career path. I have been on both sides. Once my children grew older, I embarked on a journey to provide doula support to local families both in pregnancy and postpartum. I describe myself as a "chill" doula. I don't have strong opinions on how anyone should give birth or raise their babies, just that you have the support, tools, and autonomy to have an experience or make the choices that feel right for you and your baby.
