Hi there! I am a Pennsylvania Certified Doula, a mother, a grandmother, and a global traveler whose path into birth work began nearly 30 years ago when I gave birth to my son at 21!
Back then, I navigated pregnancy and motherhood with little guidance, without Google or online support, just magazines and talk shows. That experience shaped my passion to walk beside other mothers through their own birth journey, offering the care, the advocacy, knowledge, and encouragement I once needed myself.
Over the years, I’ve lived and traveled throughout Central America, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. My travels have opened my heart to different cultures. My doula journey has also led me to support women who were not fluent in English, from Portuguese to Bengali. Those experiences have taught me that birth and compassion are universal languages of their own. These experiences and encounters have deepened my respect for cultural diversity, tradition, and the power of human connection.
I provide prenatal, birth, and postpartum support with a holistic, heart led approach, grounded in calm energy, cultural awareness, and unconditional love. I also hold a Mental Health First Aid certification, allowing me to support families through emotional challenges with empathy and understanding. Having personally experienced childhood trauma, I know how important and recognize how deeply mental and emotional well-being is during the birth and postpartum journey, and I bring that awareness into every interaction with the families I serve.
What do I enjoy in my spare time? Well, I grew up on a farm and have since taken up gardening as my favorite retreat. Gardening has taught me patience and reverence for life’s natural flow. To me, birth is like nature, having its own natural movement. My role is to honor the process of birth gently, providing grounded support every step of the way. I nurture families with the same warmth and respect I give my own, creating a space where every birthing person feels safe, heard, and empowered.
