About Me
I have been a doula in San Diego since 2013. I found my passion for pregnancy and childbirth after the birth of my triplets in 2011. My experience opened my eyes to the deep need for education and advocacy for expectant families. My birth was difficult and the support of my doula helped us navigate that tender and life changing experience.
I attended my first birth in May 2013 and it has snowballed into my life's passion. I realized early in my career that the investment in education and support prenatally was the cornerstone of a positive birth experience. Families who recieve independent (read: out of hospital) childbirth education make informed choices about their care and regardless of the type of birth, they experience much more satisfaction and better outcomes. This knowledge lead me to San Diego HypnoBirthing and The Birth Education Center in 2015.
I want families to walk away from their births healthier and happier than they entered them. I want parents to awaken their inner advocates and realize how powerful their bond with their baby is before they ever come earthside.
I have a special passion for families expecting multiples, LGBTQ+ families, families who need cesareans or are seeking a VBAC and families who choose out of hospital birth. But I love serving families of ever shape and size in their journey, whatever that journey looks like for them.
