I have always felt that my core purpose in this world was to help

people. I started that journey 8 years ago in veterinary medicine as a

licensed veterinary technician, advocating for animals and educating pet

parents along the way. After a traumatic long 64 hour birth with my son

in 2023, I was inspired by my own doula who guided me through the

toughest challenge i’ve ever faced. If I can help woman in the most

vulnerable stage of their lives, through all the magic and pain that is

childbirth and postpartum like my doula did for me, then I have fulfilled

my core purpose. I serve any population that is in need of a birth or

postpartum doula, no matter race, gender identity or religion. I believe

that every women/birthing person deserves to have access to a doula.

Outside of being a doula, I love to be outside hiking and spending time

a the beach. I love cooking for my son and husband and dancing to live

music in the park.
