Working Together

Birth is transformation. You are on a journey that has the opportunity to enliven, expand, and empower you. As a Doula I will advocate for you and the birther led experience. I will be a guide to resource, bringing physical and emotional support. I mention Birther led experience as birth and pregnancy is your experience, you hold the power. My role is to support your agency and see your desires through safely. 

It is possible that together we will see fears and trauma. And we will see them through. I will help cultivate a safe space, embodiment and nervous system regulation practices, and tend to helpful resources. We will envision and set preferences for the birth you want, while also being ready for variation. My goal is for you to have a birth story you feel present and honored in.

My joy is to witness you trusting yourself and your process. We are born knowing how to give birth. We are instinctual. Labor, though painful, can also be pleasurable, offering levity and pride. Even offering sensuality as you connect to your rhythms. This journey is a beautiful moment to deepen reverence for yourself.

My passion in birth work is to witness all birthers: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ communities, and women- be empowered and respected. I support anti-racism, intersectional feminism, and inclusion of all bodies. I support evidence based birth options.

My promise is to continually evaluate and educate myself so that I may be worthy of your trust and team.

Entering Doula work

In 2020 I began to feel refuge in my body again after intentional years of trauma work. Support came through many mediums during in this time, including womb work. Womb work honed on embodiment, grief allowance, and somatic tools. These practices helped expand my nervous system capacity to receive the nurturing and listening I needed. I am grateful for the community care seeing me through such a pivotal moment in my life. So much of healing is collective. 

My deepening safety eased into a great self trust. In this experience my ears started picking up on the whispers of birth work. Work that envelops transformation and revolution centered around de-shaming our bodies and knowing our agency. Work that I first did(and still do) with myself. Being a doula encompasses my desire to uplift and extend advocacy for the birth you want.

Birth does not have to be traumatic. Your birth can be a place to feel whole, loved and in awe of what you, your body, can do. I will work with you through any wound or fear pregnancy touches upon. And work through any external system that does not garner support or inclusivity. No one needs to be alone or feel alone on their journey. I truly believe birth has the power to bring transformative safety, joy, empowerment.
