I have always loved babies; I sometimes say birth, postpartum, and newborn care are my native languages! As the oldest of six, caring for babies came to me naturally from a very young age. After raising three children of my own to adulthood and years working as a nanny and then as a newborn care specialist, I realized that providing evidence-based support for parents is the most effective way to ensure babies are off to a great start. By combining my birth and postpartum doula support with my expertise in newborn parenting, lactation, and relationship foundations, I offer a unique mentoring and educational approach to supporting new families. I'm there for you & your family through your pregnancy and birth…and what comes after!

"You really helped us find the routine we were looking for. What seems so simple and intuitive to some just wasn’t for us. You helped us so much!"

"All the prep work we did before my son arrived made us feel very confident about handling labor together at home for a long time. We almost felt like we didn't need to call you to help us because you had taught us everything...but we're glad we did! You have a very calming, reassuring presence."
