Welcome!
I am so glad you are here. Grateful you are searching for support on whatever transitional journey you find yourself.
Life is full of transformation and change. We all carry our past selves into these moments with us. Walk with them hand in hand, afraid of what we will find in the unknown: distance, a lack of self, discomfort.
I have found in my own life, that my support, the companions that hold me through preparation for and stepping through the threshold of change, have greatly determined how whole I feel when I reach the other side. How able I am to integrate my past selves into my unexpected or unpredictable present.
I hope to offer people a stable, empathic support on their own journeys. Pulling not only from my own lived experience of change in its many forms, but also from my extensive training.
Regardless of its outcome, pregnancy is a transformative experience. My hope is to come alongside people as they navigate their unique reproductive journeys.

The Journey of a Dragonfly
I have found so much peace and understanding from the patterns of change embedded within the world around us. The most potent of these, for me, has been the cycle of dragonflies. Their journey from an underwater nymph to a creature of wings and air, is powerful, and I believe speaks to the intense and seemingly magical transformation of pregnancy, labor, birth, and also loss.
Role of a Doula/Birthworker
Like the stability of a grass stalk that supports a dragonfly nymph as it breaks out of its old body, a doula holds people up through their personal transitions/transformations. Doula's create a stable environment in which you do not need to hold yourself together, but instead can release your fears, worries, and thoughts enough for transformation to take place.
My Offerings
As a full-spectrum doula, I care for all birthing people and all types of birth. I offer support for labor & birth, postpartum, as well as loss & grief. I tailor intricacies of this support to your needs and unique journey in order to provide culturally relevant, holistic care as well as advocacy.
