A little about me

As a doula, I believe birth is sacred, powerful, and worthy of protection. I also know that every journey is unique. My role is to help you feel safe, informed, and confident, no matter how your birth unfolds. Whether you are planning a home birth, a hospital birth, or something in between, I am here to help you understand your options, advocate for your choices, and create an environment where you feel deeply supported.

I work alongside you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum using a blend of evidence based knowledge and holistic tools to help you feel strong, calm, and prepared. Together, we explore breath work techniques to regulate your nervous system and move through labour, positioning and movement to support your baby’s journey, and hands on comfort measures such as acupressure and massage to ease intensity and encourage progress. I also support your birth team, whether that is your partner, family, or friends, so they feel confident and capable in how they support you.

My care continues well beyond birth. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in the postpartum period, holding space as you process your birth, ensuring you feel nourished and rested, and walking alongside you as you transition into parenthood. My greatest hope is that you leave this experience feeling powerful, connected, and like the rockstar parent you were always meant to be.
