As your birth doula, I’m there for you. As simple as that.

From the minute we start preparing during pregnancy, to the ongoing connection after your baby is born, I am in your corner and it is my honor to witness your transformation into a new parent.

The bond we build throughout your pregnancy is important. I will be there for you as a trusted companion, safe space, guide, hand holder, and source of information and positivity on this journey. Then, when it’s time for you to bring your baby into your arms, I’ll be by your side. I protect your space fiercely, and hold you up (sometimes literally!) during your labor and birth. Afterwards, I continue to support you as you learn with your newborn baby and navigate the realm of early parenthood.

“Support” means something different for each client. I take the time to discover what is important to you and tailor my services to provide what you need. That can include a wide variety of things - here’s a few:

  • Education on birth and the postpartum time

  • Mental preparation

  • Processing fear and anxiety

  • Building a positive mindset (birth can be fun and joyful! I love leaning in to this)

  • Tuning into and trusting your instinct and intuition

  • A listening ear/shoulder to cry on/zero judgement

  • Equipping you with tools for endurance and confidence

  • Helping you to set your intentions for birth and postpartum

  • Hands-on methods for both coping with the intensity of labor and enabling deep relaxation

  • Readying the body for a smooth birth

  • Providing trauma-informed care

I also work closely with the birth partner, preparing them to give valuable support and really deepen their connection with the birthing person.

It is important to me that we “click” - you don’t want someone in your birth space that you don’t feel 100% comfortable with. For this reason, I offer a complementary initial consultation, where we will get to know each other, discuss how I can serve you best and what your preferences are – and to see if we are a good fit.

BIRTH PACKAGE - Starting from $2600

◇  A complimentary initial consultation - via video call

◇  3 prenatal sessions, in your home, in which we will discuss your preferences, dive deep into your vision for birth, address any concerns or questions, and prepare mentally and physically for the birth of your baby and for postpartum

◇ 24/7 support via phone, message or email throughout your pregnancy

◇ Resources on almost any birth topic - my own handouts, research studies, articles and essays, referrals to practitioners and other birth-related folks

◇ A personally tailored, private client portal, where we gather all those resources together for you to access anytime

◇ Access to my lending library

◇ Assistance with writing out your birth preferences, if desired

◇ Continuous, by-your-side support throughout your labor, from the time you ask me to join you, until you and your baby are settled and feeding has been initiated

◇ Photography of your labor, birth, and immediate postpartum time, if desired

◇  Two postpartum sessions, to review your birth, offer support and guidance with feeding, newborn behavior and care, and for me to take care of your needs while you nurture your new baby

◇ Support via phone, message or email for 6 months after the birth

I donate a percentage of my fee to SisterWeb, a San Francisco Community Doula Network. They offer community doula care at no cost to Black and Latine pregnant and birthing people in San Francisco. They are a truly wonderful organization and are in need of support. If you can, please consider donating.

Being your birth doula means I am 100% with you, acting in your best interests the whole way through. I treasure my strong connections with my clients and work hard to make sure you feel confident, comfortable and secure – so that on the day of your baby’s birth, you have a trusted team of people in your birth space, that will share in your joy and achievement.
