A little about me…
As a doula, I believe birth is sacred, powerful, and meant to be undisturbed—but I also know that every journey is unique. My role is to support you in feeling safe, informed, and confident, no matter how your birth unfolds. Whether you're planning a home birth, a hospital birth, or something in between, I’m here to help you navigate your options, advocate for your choices, and create an environment where you feel deeply supported.
I work alongside you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a mix of evidence-based knowledge and holistic tools to help you feel strong, calm, and prepared. We’ll explore breath work techniques to regulate your nervous system and ride the waves of labour, optimal positioning and movement to help baby find their way, and hands-on comfort measures like acupressure and massage to ease intensity and keep labour flowing. I’ll also guide your birth team—whether that’s your partner, family, or friends—so they feel confident in how to support you best.
But my care doesn’t stop at birth. I’m passionate about holding space for you in the postpartum period, helping you process your birth, get the nourishment and rest you need, and feel supported as you transition into parenthood. My biggest hope? That you walk away from this experience feeling powerful, connected, and like the absolute rockstar parent you were made to be.
