A little bit about me...
This mother of 3 has experienced a lot & I'm here to support you as a birth doula. DONA certified, Certified lactation consulting, Certified Childbirth Educator, Reiki certified, comfort measures, and postpartum.
​
My journey began during the pandemic with a compelling article in The New Yorker about a home birth. Not even knowing what a doula was at the time of my own births, I became enlightened by this role. Realizing that life perseveres even under extenuating circumstances, this kind of support is so relevant. I was drawn to this work and the birth world greeted me with a full embrace. Now I serve Fairfield County, CT and beyond.
​
My background as an artist and musician has taught me how to improvise and individualize every situation based on essential evidence-based ideals. My focus is to give each family a positive, special birth experience.
​
I am also a fiber artist, bass player, budding accordionist, and lover of guinea pigs.
My Professional Journey
Strength in Support
​
Entering the birth world was an exciting and meaningful journey for me. As every year brings me a little further from my own births, I can help new moms have positive memories with their birth experiences -and enjoy the magical beauty of a newborn!
​
My first support opportunities were with three very gracious young ladies at the Malta House. It was through their need for education that I learned how to teach about childbirth, their right to a beautiful birth experience taught me commitment, and their desire for unwavering companionship taught me how to support.
​
I have earned additional certifications in lactation consulting, childbirth education, and body preparedness for labor in order to better support women in the perinatal space. I am proud to support women in a variety of environments to help advocate for their desired birth!
