Birth Doula | Reiki Master | Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health

Birth doula offering labor support and energy healing.

About Me

From a young age, I knew my purpose was to offer gentle, compassionate support to others. This passion led me to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health, where I was first introduced to the world of birth work. I was immediately drawn to the holistic and nurturing approach of doulas, and after experiencing the births of my two children—one with an epidural and one an unmedicated water birth—I knew I had found my calling. Becoming a certified birth doula allowed me to combine my knowledge, experience, and deep-rooted passion for supporting growing families.

I believe true wellness extends beyond the physical, encompassing the mind and spirit as well. My approach bridges the gap, creating a holistic birthing experience that nurtures and empowers each family in a way that feels authentic to them. Every journey is unique, and I am honored to provide personalized, compassionate care, ensuring families feel seen, supported, and confident throughout their birthing experience.
