Proudly serving the greater Seattle area by honoring the experiences of evolving families.
Post-Partum Support Opportunities
Overnight Care
Focusing on rest is essential to the recovery and sanity of the entire family unit. I provide up to 9 hours of overnight care.
Daytime Support
I provide daytime doula services which include professional support with breastfeeding, changing, organization, cleaning, and cooking, so you can enjoy the new family member in peace.
Transitional Resource
I understand that welcoming a new family member is tricky. I support additional siblings, parents, and family through supportive and interactive methods.
Labor and Birth Support Opportunities
Childbirth Education
Childbirth education is a course tenant of prenatal support. Knowledge is power! I will support you in making informed decisions that create a birth experience relevant to your needs.
Continual Labor Support
The beauty of having birth doula support is that after getting to know you and your family's preferences, choices, and experiences, I can sense your needs and support your desires during birth.
Unwavering commitment
Continual support and communication are essential to our practice. I am on call from the moment we start working together. Monthly phone calls and weekly texts in the month of your due date are included, as are two prenatal calls and three phone calls postpartum.

Why Do I Need A Doula?
Birth has always been a sacred experience, deeply rooted in support, connection, and care. Birth was a rite of passage where women were surrounded by trusted community members who provided guidance, comfort, and reassurance. Today, while our understanding of medical care has advanced, the personal and emotional aspects of welcoming a child are often overlooked in a clinical setting.
This is where a doula becomes invaluable.
A doula's support will help you navigate your options medically while supporting your personal beliefs.
You don't know how much support you'll need until you need it!
