Birth and the fourth trimester are threshold moments, often tender and disorienting. Being truly seen and gently supported matters more than being told what to do. When everything feels raw and unfamiliar, what helps most is having someone steady beside you who knows how to listen and respond with care.

I’m a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula and a trained Newborn Care Specialist. I began this work in 2017, after a life-changing birth experience reshaped my understanding of what meaningful support looks like. Since then, I’ve offered calm, compassionate, judgment-free care tailored to each family’s needs.

My approach is rooted in the Birthing From Within philosophy and grounded in evidence-based care, with a focus on emotional wellbeing, informed decision-making, and respect for each family’s individual experience.

My specialty is overnight postpartum care. The quiet hours of the night can be the most vulnerable of all. While you sleep and heal, I care for your baby, so you can wake up rested and more like yourself.

I have a special place in my heart for sensitive mothers and sensitive babies. I’m highly sensitive myself, and I know how much a quiet room, a gentle voice, and a slower pace can matter.

I work with first-time and experienced parents, single parents, LGBTQ+ families, and surrogate families, and I have experience supporting high-needs pregnancies and families facing postpartum mood challenges. I work alongside your healthcare providers, and I offer birth support at home, in the hospital, or at a birth center, meeting you where you are, both physically and emotionally.

 I take a limited number of L.A. families each season.

If you’d like to talk, I offer a free Zoom consultation.
