Calm presence.
Strong advocate.

Care that puts your needs and desires first.

I offer nonjudgmental emotional, physical, and informational support. Your wishes lead the way. My role is to help you prepare and move through the unknowns of labor with someone trained beside you.

In a hospital, shifts change and new providers move in and out of the room. I remain a trusted and continuous presence. I know your preferences and stay with you and any birthing partners from labor through birth.

In addition to hospital settings, I support births at birth centers and at home. No matter where you choose to give birth, I will be there with you.

Meet me

A birth doula informed by years of helping people feel free and at home in their bodies.

Before embarking on my birth work journey, I built my career as a Pilates instructor, dance teacher, and choreographer. My approach to labor and birth support draws on extensive experience helping people explore breath, strength, body awareness, choice, and resilience.

That experience now informs the way I prepare families and offer physical comfort through labor—always following my clients’ guidance and their voices.
