I am a woman dedicated to creating opportunities for other women to realize their beauty, power, and strength. Like all doulas I am a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on, an ear for listening to your dreams and fears, and an open heart. I am passionate about serving women around the childbearing years. It has been a powerful lesson to experience firsthand the difference in birth outcomes that can be made when women are provided with culturally competent education, support, and the chance to trust and value their bodies. This passion has developed gradually with each life experience that I have had.
I was ushered into the “birth world” during the birth of my younger brother when I was thirteen years old. Watching my mother give birth full of joy and power, on her terms, was a beautiful introduction to the chapters of my life that were yet to be written. Since that incredible moment, I have had the honor of serving women during this equally amazing and vulnerable time in their lives in a variety of settings and in diverse populations.
