My Journey

At the age of 19, I assisted in my first birth, despite knowing little about the birthing process at the time. The experience left a profound impact on me, emphasizing the significance of unwavering support for growing families. It took me a decade to embark on my journey to become a doula, during which time I gained valuable experience through apprenticeships, reading, and supporting loved ones through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I grew a beautiful family of my own with six babies that I nursed, nurtured, and advocated for while also enduring the loss of four babies through miscarriage. All the while, I wondered, and day dreamed about being a doula.

It was the founding of Birth Tribe, a collective of CT doulas, that finally propelled me to pursue my passion for supporting families during the transformative journey of childbirth. I am immensely grateful to be able to assist families as they embark on this new chapter in their lives. When I attend births now, I bring a bag filled with all of the helpful physical tools as well as the knowledge gained from other births, classes, and certifications, and the wisdom of my own births. However, above all else, I offer families authentic and unwavering support, a cornerstone of my doula practice.
