About Me

---

I've lived in the Bay Area for over 15 years and have been a Doula for 5 years. In that time, I've helped over 65 families meet their babies and I can't wait to meet yours! Before becoming a birth worker, I worked in the health sciences and was always driven to help people on their wellness journey. During the incredible experience of giving birth to my son in 2013, I felt a strong calling to support birthing people. During my labor, a group of wise women supported and guided me, helping me feel safe and deeply loved. When I thought I couldn't go on, these women physically supported me, spoke to the deepest desires of my heart, and helped me find the strength to take the next step toward meeting my son. As a Doula and student Midwife, I aim to make all birthing people feel safe, validated, and held as they journey to meet their babies and the become parents. In my free time, I enjoy hiking the beautiful trails near my home, watching Star Wars marathons with my family, and relaxing at the beach.

I live, “own” a home, and teach on land that sits on the traditional lands of the ethnohistoric territory of the Thámien Ohlone-speaking tribal groups. I acknowledge and honor the ancestral guardians of the lands and waterways of what we call San Jose and strive to be a good steward on behalf of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe, whose land I occupy.
