Informed. Prepared. Empowered.

Becoming a parent…it’s a lot. The joy, anticipation, love, and sometimes a whole lot of uncertainty and “what ifs.” But here’s what I want you to know - everything you’re feeling is completely normal, and you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Your Support System

Together, we’ll make sure you know what to expect - both the essentials and the things no one talks about - so you can feel grounded in the realities of this experience and welcome motherhood feeling empowered and ready.

How We Can Help

Certified Birth Doula Services

With one goal in mind…to ensure you feel safe, supported, and fully informed - no matter how you bring your baby into the world. From a medicated hospital birth, homebirth, an induction, cesarean, or anything in between, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Certified Postpartum Doula Services

Most of us prepare for labor and delivery with intention, but what about the days, weeks, and months after? Postpartum is a crucial time for recovery, learning, and adjusting to your new normal with a newborn. Having a plan for support makes it easier to care for yourself and your baby.

Education, Planning & Classes

Our private, virtual, and fully customizable sessions are expertly crafted to meet you where you are, offering evidence-based guidance without any hospital or provider bias. Whether you’re looking to build confidence, set realistic expectations, or get grounded in the essentials, this is your space to gain knowledge and practical skills that truly support you.

Postpartum Doula Certification

Created and personally led by a mother-baby nurse turned doula, this certification program is designed to help you become truly exceptional in your work. Just like postpartum doula care, this training is personal, supportive, and rooted in real connection - because how you learn should reflect how you serve.

Virtual Consultations

Information overload is real. What’s most helpful is having someone you trust to sort through it all with you. Someone who can offer perspective, evidence-based guidance, and clear answers that actually apply to your experience. As a seasoned nurse and fellow mama, I’m here to help you make sense of all the questions, what-ifs, and “is this normal?” moments.

I’m here to validate your experience, normalize the hard moments, and to help you set grounded, realistic expectations. I want you to feel prepared and supported on this journey, with tools, resources, and steady guidance every step of the way.
