Training Documentation

Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

In addition to being a doula, I am a community-centric nonprofit founder, facilitator, director, and consultant. I have over 25 years of experience in the nonprofit & mission-driven business sectors, specializing in organizations that provide equitable & healing programs at the intersection of racial and gender justice. Most notably, I co-founded the organization Young Women Empowered (www.y-we.org), and served in many roles over the next 14 years, as I grew Y-WE from the roots up. Y-WE is now a thriving community of belonging that offers transformative programs for hundreds of people each year, centering young women and LGBTQIA folks of color. When I co-founded Y-WE, I did so from a place of love—love for my two daughters and rising generations of young people; love for building multi-generational, multicultural, multi-religious, and multi-racial communities; and a deep belief that working to build equitable communities of belonging is an expression of love for humanity. As a consultant, coach & facilitator, I now serve over 30 clients in the greater seattle region. I prioritize clients who provide needed services for women, children, youth, LGBTQIA+ folks, People of the Global Majority (BIPOC folks), immigrants, and low income communities. Related to my doula practice, one of my primary clients is Hummingbird Indigenous Family Services, whose mission is to support healthy Indigenous babies--being born into healthy Indigenous families--being supported by healthy Indigenous communities. Hummingbird is the first and only Indigenous agency in King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties to exclusively serve Indigenous babies and families from zero to three. (https://www.hummingbird-ifs.org)

Fee Details

Although I am a trained WA State certified doula, because I am not yet Dona International certified, I am offering reduced fee & sliding-scale services designed to fit your budget. In exchange, I will request a formal evaluation and feedback on my services to submit to Dona International with my certification materials. I am committed to not turning clients away due to inability to pay, so please let me know your financial needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Typical sliding scale levels are: - Tier 1: $750 or less (for low-income folks) - Tier 2: $1000 (for middle-income folks) - Tier 3: $1500+ (for those who are able) My clients are welcome to contribute at a higher rate than my sliding scale range, if they are able. All additional resources provided enable me to discount my services for other families in need.
