Not just here for birthers, here for the community.
What I do…
-
Support not only during your fertility journey, but also through family planning education, including surrogacy
-
No just support for birth, but also education and advocacy. I’m not your partner or your mother, but I can support both while supporting you
-
Lactation support and breastfeeding education
-
Whether you’re hiring me as your doula or not, I also offer birth photography and videography services, as well as maternity and fresh48 photography & videography.
-
Placenta castings and placenta watercolors are a great option for memorializing your birth.
-
Loss touches us all, but the sudden loss of a child can need something more. Whether you need appointment support, home support or photography, I offer the help you’re looking for
Holding space
As a doula, I hold space at births so that you and your partner(s) don’t have to. I educate first, advocate second. Most of all, I care deeply about changing the birth space, making it a more passionate field towards birthers.
“It is said that those in labor leave their bodies, travel to the stars and return to earth with the soul of their baby.”
