Your body is wise.

Your pregnancy is sacred.

Your birth is a rite of passage.

I believe childbirth is a rite of passage, and everyone deserves support during this transformational threshold experience.

I honor and respect the innate wisdom of women’s bodies: our intuition, our physiology, our strength, and our desires.

I’m an advocate for natural, physiological birth, and as a birth doula I safeguard your space so your birth can unfold as it’s meant to.

I believe in your body sovereignty. I believe in your spiritual sovereignty. I believe you know your body, baby, and family better than anyone else involved in your birth.

My goal is to walk beside you as a friend and ally, and to help you understand your choices and make informed, embodied decisions along the road of your pregnancy journey.

My intention is to witness your experience, rather than manage it. I serve as a presence of reassurance and trust in the birth room.

My role is to support you and your family in creating a positive birth experience, whatever the setting or birth outcome—home, birth center or hospital. I am here to hold a container of safety and care.

I provide good company and evidence-based care to help you navigate the physiological and emotional changes inherent in pregnancy, birth, and new motherhood.

After spending a decade as a wilderness guide and educator, I have deep trust in the transformation that happens at our edges. I believe that almost all positive change occurs outside of our comfort zones, and that working with a trusted support person can lessen the anxiety of stepping beyond the known.

My own inner work—including meditation, reiki, plant medicine & Earth ways ceremonies, yoga, poetry writing, herbalism, and years of facilitating women’s circles—is the foundation for how I support your work along the birth continuum.

I offer a nonjudgmental space to explore what you truly desire on your journey to creating family. I strive to help you enjoy your pregnancy, birth and postpartum time, and to help you access your own resilience and wisdom.
