Hi, my name is Summer! I am here to provide informational, emotional, and physical support to all birthing people. With my background in health education and biotech program management, I want to help you understand your options and plan for your upcoming birth while bringing joy to your birthing journey. I want you to feel empowered to choose the type of birth you want while also knowing if things do not go according to your wishes, what your other options are. I want to imbue creativity and fun through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum because this may be one of the most creative processes since you are literally creating life and that is beautiful. To me, being a doula is showing and guiding my clients that you can prioritize yourself – your comfort, your safety – through birth, one of the most vulnerable and transformative moments in one’s life, and for the rest of your life. I can’t wait to hear about your pregnancy and your wishes for your birth!

I had the pleasure of having Summer as my doula, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. A friend suggested getting a doula for support, and I discovered Summer through social media. I didn’t realize how much of an impact she would have on my journey, but I am so grateful I decided to include her in our birth experience.

Summer was extremely knowledgeable and always responsive. She supported us every step of the way, ensuring that we were well-prepared and informed. My birth ended up being expedited, but thanks to her resources and guidance, we managed to organize everything just in time for a comfortable scheduled C-section. When the hospital decided to keep me, I was incredibly nervous. Summer arrived within an hour of me letting her know about the change in plans, and her presence immediately put me at ease. She made sure the doctors were aware of my birth preferences and assisted whenever she could.

What I really loved was that the information covered during her sessions was exactly what I experienced in real life. I felt so empowered and in control of my experience because of her. Her post-partum visits and regular check-ins were invaluable, providing much-needed reassurance and support during the transition period. Summer's resources also helped my partner and I navigate post-partum life smoothly. She made sure the doctors were aware of my birth preferences and assisted whenever she could.

Summer's dedication and care were evident in every interaction, making a significant difference in our experience. If you are considering a doula, I highly recommend Summer. Her expertise and compassionate support are unmatched.
