FUll Spectrum doula support
Birth is raw, empowering, emotional, sacred, primal, beautiful, thrilling, terrifying… it’s just downright rad and wild. I am here to help you navigate the overwhelming range of emotions that come along with pregnancy, labor and beyond. I would love to be part of the community you are building to surround your growing family. There are few moments in your life that are as transformative as birth, and you have every right to feel completely supported throughout the journey.
