Birthwork for all.

My passion for doula care was born from the joy of seeing life reveal itself in intimate moments. 

I hold deep reverence for the transformative nature of this veil work — in momentous occasions of birth, death, and all that exists between. It is an honor to support others in their most human of moments with affirming, intentional care.

I trace my journey to birthwork back to my own birth.

Born in North Carolina, and as one of triplets, I was born three months early. This unique birth experience has shaped much of my life and brings insight into the importance of safe and secure birthing opportunities.

Varying roles in community organizing, mental healthcare, youth work, peer education, sexual health education, and childcare, have all contributed to my development as a care provider. I find meaning and purpose duly serving individuals and contributing to positive public health outcomes.

I come to this heavily medicalized work with a spirit-centered, trauma-informed, “person-in-environment” approach. I never leave my heart at home, and value memory, nostalgia, and sentimentality; I invite you embrace these meaning-making opportunities — as much or as little as you wish.

As a white practitioner, in a field where Black and Brown birthing people face inequity and trauma, I work to make my support accessible to all and refer to more equipped and aligned doulas as need. I encourage use of my sliding scale and pro bono availability.
