About the Provider
Hi y'all!
I am a birth and postpartum doula. My work is shaped and informed by a deep knowledge and love for early childhood education and human development.
Before entering the birthworker field, I was an Early Childhood Special Educator where I taught for 13 years. It was there that my love for all things young children, babies, and supporting families flourished. It brought me great joy to watch her students and their families evolve throughout the course of the school year and subsequent years to follow. One of my core beliefs is that children are the GREATEST GIFTS to the planet; they fill us with joy & wonder.
My style as your doula is one of compassion, leading with my heart, and being an active listener. It is of the utmost importance to me that you feel seen, safe, nurtured, and empowered to be your most authentic self. I infuse love, joy, calm, and a “you’ve got this'' attitude into all that I do. I champion the families I support by ensuring that they are well informed with evidenced based resources and uplifted emotionally and mentally. I utilize comforting touch/massage, acupressure, breathwork, movement, and essential oils in my work with clients.
I am a native New Yorker, born and raised in Brooklyn. I am queer –embracing and celebrating difference is important to me. I am a lover of travel, nature, long walks, and relishing in the simple pleasures and joys of life. Many people would describe my aura as sunshine yellow.
