About Me

I am a birth, postpartum, and community doula living in Philadelphia, PA. In 2024, I realized my long time dream of starting a career in birth work, and I completed my training through Maternity Care Coalition’s Community Doula and Lactation Program. My training gave me a strong foundation in community centered and culturally responsive practices.

I grew up in Massachusetts and previously have worked as a teacher, nanny, and union organizer. My life experiences thus far have cultivated empathy, groundedness, and a drive for justice that I now bring to my work as a doula.

As a doula, I am committed to supporting all kinds of pregnant people in their unique journey to becoming parents. I offer guidance in creating a birth experience that aligns with your vision and unconditional compassion as you navigate the perinatal period. Through personalized prenatal education, continuous, hands-on support during labor, and encouragement as you adjust to life with a newborn, I am in your corner every step of the way.

Outside of birth work, you can find me spending time with my cat, organizing with the Philadelphia Tenants Union, watching movies, and bopping around West Philly.
