My path into this work wasn’t shaped by a single moment or experience. From living abroad and spending time connected to a women’s shelter in India, to witnessing birth for the first time overseas, I began to understand the power of presence—of being with someone, without needing to change or fix what they are moving through.

Birth work felt like a natural continuation of that calling.

One of the experiences that has stayed with me most deeply was witnessing birth in a village midwifery clinic in the Philippines.
I had the opportunity to shadow a close friend who was training as a midwife, an experience that helped shape the way I understand birth. It was powerful, raw, and deeply sacred.

A few years later, I experienced my own transition into motherhood with the birth of our three children—Jonah (13), Sophie (11), and Ezra (9). Each experience was transformative in its own way and deepened my understanding of how powerful it is to feel a sense of empowerment as you move through that time. 

When I look back, each of these experiences, supporting women in difficult seasons, witnessing birth, and becoming a mother, forms a continuous thread.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Doula work wasn’t a sudden decision. It was a natural next step.

These experiences shape how I support families today; offering steady, grounded presence during moments that can feel uncertain, intense, or deeply transformative.

I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood with individualized, respectful care.

I believe that every family deserves to feel informed, respected, and supported in their choices throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

When I speak about holding space, I mean offering steady, non-judgmental support, whether someone is moving through uncertainty, navigating decisions, or simply needing to feel less alone in the process. In practice, this can look like creating a calm, supportive environment, helping you process information as it arises, and offering reassurance without taking away your autonomy.

My role is not to direct your experience, but to support you in navigating it with confidence and trust in yourself.
