Training Documentation

Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I am deeply passionate about ensuring that women receive the highest quality care when it comes to their reproductive health. Birth is one of the most empowering and transformative experiences in a woman’s life, and I am dedicated to supporting you through this incredible journey of bringing new life into the world. Having recently welcomed my own first child, I gained a new perspective that birth doesn’t have to be what society often portrays—it can be a beautiful, fulfilling, and empowering experience. I’m here to help you achieve the birth experience you envision and deserve!

Fee Details

I am a DONA-trained Doula, currently working toward full certification, and I am excited to offer my services at a significantly discounted rate during this process. My support includes 1-2 personalized prenatal meetings, where we can design your ideal birth environment, practice labor positions, and discuss your vision for labor support, among other preparations. Additionally, I provide unlimited text, call and email support for non-medical questions, I provide on-call support for your labor and birth, and offer immediate postpartum care, followed by a final postpartum visit 24-48 hours after birth. Also, for those interested, I also provide birth photography as an optional add-on.
