About

Though born and raised in Upstate New York, my journey to birth work began in  Northern California. I had the privilege of attending a friend’s home birth, and it was there that I discovered the powerful and beautiful vulnerability that birth and postpartum command. After that experience, I decided to take my postpartum doula training through DONA International. Just as I was ready to enter the birth world as a professional, I found myself unexpectedly pregnant. Although the birth of my daughter didn’t unfold as I had imagined, having my doulas there ensured that I had agency throughout the entire experience. My unplanned cesarean left me scarred only physically. My own birth experience inspired me to undergo my birth doula training a few months later. I have had the privilege of holding space in various settings and circumstances, but one thing always remains true: birth and postpartum are shaped by being seen and heard. Whatever you may be going through, I promise to meet you where you are; to see you, and to hear you.
