Let's Get Personal
Born to two moms in the Bay Area, we spoke about where babies come from as soon as I could talk. I learned about the sperm's journey to meet the egg from a comic book.
I was drawn towards caretaking from a young age, starting to babysit at 14 years old. My love for caring for my community blossomed into studying social work at UC Berkeley.
With 12 years of experience working with families, babies, and kids, I found myself leaning towards the intimacy of doula work, through the lens of equity and empowerment.
My practice as a doula and parental consultant is built upon the women and people of color who have come before me. I aim to provide the compassion and equity needed to work with communities of marginalized backgrounds.
I love working with LGBTQ+ families, single parents, survivors of violence, surrogates, adoptions, families of color, and anyone who is looking to be guided through this journey with a little more support.
With me, you are home.
