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.
