How my
doula journey began…
Like many, I tried out my fair share of assorted jobs before finding something that really aligned with me (Hello! I’ve worked as a butcher, a baker, a candlestick salesperson, just to name a few).
I’ve been passionate about social and reproductive justice, and community care for many years. I always felt drawn to working in spaces where these worlds intersected, but I didn’t know how for a long time.
Then I discovered the birthwork world!
Years ago, close friends hired a birth doula. At the time, I had no idea what a doula was. After hearing about the incredible care they received, I realized that this was exactly what I’d been looking for.
I’ve been a doula since 2018, and I absolutely LOVE it. Being invited into people’s lives and offering continuous support during vulnerable and big life moments is really special.
I firmly believe that everyone has the right to receive timely, meaningful care during their unique reproductive journeys.
Filling in the gaps of support is my jam!
Not everyone has a village that provides the right kind of support. Your in-laws might offer to come by in the early postpartum period, but will they focus on you and give you the support you really need? Or are they just coming to see the baby and then leave you feeling more drained?
We’ll work together to build your understanding and confidence, give space for rest and recovery, and provide the support that you actually want and deserve. I’m here for you, and with you.
I centre your needs first and am here as your helper - not another visitor you have to host in the early, vulnerable days of postpartum.
When I’m not doulaing (totally a word), I love hiking, reading, concerts, visiting cozy coffee shops, and eating a ridiculous amount of guacamole.
Together, we can help you thrive - not just survive. Let’s connect!
