I am passionate about smoothing the transition and sharing knowledge about the postpartum journey so families are equipped to be successful and handle challenges from day one. I doula so that I can witness, lift up, and facilitate the unique bond between a new arrival and the family they are coming into, while ensuring the parents feel that they’re supported, heard, and not alone.
