I know first-hand that what happens during birth matters: both as your transition into a new parental role, and as an experience you will remember for the rest of your life. My hope is that you remember birth with pride and awe. Centrally located, I support families throughout the lower mainland. 

​

I was drawn to support other growing families after I gave birth to my daughter in 2021. I completed the Wise Woman Way of Birth Doula training just a year later, and I have been attending births ever since. I keep my active work as a doula based on evidence and wisdom through ongoing professional development. My interpersonal skill and soothing presence as a birth doula are further informed by a BA in counseling and Indigenous community justice, and years of front-line experience working closely with vulnerable populations at non-profit organizations.  

​

By working together prenatally, my aim is for you to anticipate your birthing time feeling calm, ready, and joyful. Prenatally, we will work together to build trust in your body’s ability to birth, discuss your values, and develop the knowledge and skills needed for you to confidently make informed choices - however the birth unfolds.  

​

When at a birth, my doula style is calming, loving, and dedicated. With an open heart and strong hands, I will notice and attend to your physical and emotional needs (as well as your partner’s). I work hard to help you persevere, and I will tactfully communicate with your care team to help your choices and voice be respected and heard.  

When I am not at birth, I enjoy romping around in the mud and sun with my toddler, dog, and husband, dancing in my living room, and making art when I can find the time.
