Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

It is important to me to be a part of building an authentic support system, especially around birth as a central part of our humanity. As we experience an ever-increasing amount of collective trauma, isolation, and limitations to healthcare access, it is imperative to remain true to what helps us resist and thrive: connection and community. My Background Since 2003, I have built a vocation in the world of infants and toddlers as a researcher, therapist, home visitor, caregiver coach and early childhood professional development consultant, in the community where I’ve raised my own three children. I am currently an Early Support therapist at Northwest Center, providing all-ability affirming educational and medical support through home visits and caregiver coaching. Where I’ve learned Most of my learning is alongside families and young children! I’ve also been privileged to also hold a BA in psycholinguistics and cognitive sciences from Cornell University, and PhD in Speech & Hearing Sciences from the University of Washington, where I researched infant language acquisition. I’m a former faculty member in Early Childhood & Family Studies/Special Education at UW, and former director of early education at the Hearing, Speech & Deaf Center. I have been trained in infant mental health, and also with the Hospital-to-Home program at NW Center, which is designed to foster positive social-emotional, developmental, and medical outcomes for babies, while providing emotional and practical support to families and caregivers.

Fee Details

I'm excited to offer birth doula services as I complete my training and gain invaluable experience for my full certification. My goal is to provide compassionate and evidence-based, continuous emotional, physical, and informational support for birthing people and their families. To ensure this vital support is available to all, my fees are on a sliding scale at this time, allowing for flexible and affordable options.
