'I absolutely love supporting new and expectant families in what can be the most vulnerable, overwhelming, and beautiful time of their lives. My role as your doula is to provide non-judgemental emotional, physical, and informational support designed by you, for you. My goal is to help you have a satisfying birth experince that you will reflect upon with a sense of joy and empowerment.'

Relevant Background:

My entire life I've been drawn to pregnant women and babies, and my work as a doula ultimately began when I decided that I wanted to be a midwife. Ever since the first birth I attended, it has been undeniably obvious where my passions lie. With my background in counselling, massage, and supporting people in crisis I bring a care to this work that is centred on understanding the individual needs of my clients and supporting the innate wisdom that resides within their minds, bodies, and hearts.
