Training Documentation

Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I have been a volunteer for the Hearts and Hands Doula program at UCSD since 2016. I fully believe that all pregnant persons have an innate inner-knowing that is a powerful guide through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Our time together will emphasize self-discovery as we listen to your intuition, practice mindfulness & breathwork, energetic healing & support, and prepare for a birth as unique as you.

Languages Spoken

  • English

Fee Details

I believe that everyone deserves access to quality doula care, regardless of financial situation. To make my services accessible, I offer a sliding scale payment model based on household income. This allows me to support families with varying financial capacities while ensuring I can continue to provide high-quality care." I am very passionate about childbirth and I work incredibly hard to ensure that my clients have a positive and memorable birth experience however they may envision that to look. My goal is for you to feel informed, respected and for your voice to be heard by your birthing team in your chosen birth environment.

Let me start by saying that without Angie by my side, I might have faced a C-section. Angie was not just a guide; she was my rock throughout the entire labor. Her unwavering support and kindness turned what could have been a stressful experience into a journey of empowerment and understanding. Even when things didn’t go as planned, she was there, helping me navigate every twist and turn at the hospital.

Angie continuously reassured me that I had control over my choices and my induction process, which gave me immense confidence and peace of mind. Her presence was a true blessing, and I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and knowledgeable doula. Angie was my saving grace, and I am forever grateful for her incredible care and support.

Angie was a godsend. She came during a desperate time when my husband and I needed sleep and relief. Not only were we able to get a full night's rest but she provided guidance, encouragement, and comfort during an overnight shift and we look forward to continuing seeking her help and guidance as we navigate the postpartum period
