I’m passionate about providing grounded, compassionate support for families as they navigate the transformative journey of childbirth. So passionate, my family has now gotten tired of listening to me talk about birth! My approach weaves together evidence-based care, cultural reverence, and deep respect for the individuality of every birthing experience.
Before becoming a doula, I worked in the film industry, where my focus was always on lifting the voices and narratives of people whose stories are often overlooked. It was through this work that I realized the power of connecting one-on-one, in a deeply personal way. Birth is, without a doubt, a powerful story, and I wanted to find a way to be part of that story—not just through the lens of a camera, but by being right there alongside families, offering support and empowerment.
Rooted in the belief that birth is both personal and powerful, I aim to create a nurturing environment where families feel heard, supported, and empowered. My journey as a doula is shaped by my commitment to education, connection, and honoring the rich threads of ancestry and community that tie us all together. Whether it’s your first birth or your fifth, I’m here to hold space for your unique story and help you plant the roots for a confident, fulfilling birthing experience.
Let’s create a birth journey that feels as natural and extraordinary as the roots it stems from.
