Philosophy

I believe birth is a biologically normal process in which we have the ability to work instinctively to do what our bodies know how to do.

This is your pregnancy, your birth, and your journey, not mine. I am here to honor your wishes and desires pertaining to your labor and delivery.

I support your right to birth in whatever environment you wish and will be happy to assist you in the environment most comfortable to you, whether that be in the home, in a hospital, or in a birthing center.

Every person and their family should be informed about options and rights surrounding birth.

Every family is unique, and my role is to learn about you and your family, support your values, desires, preferences, and needs so as to provide the individualized care you deserve.

A doula has the responsibility to help birthing people manage labor sensations, and help them cope with the mental, emotional, and physical impacts of labor and birth.

All persons, including survivors of trauma, have the power and permission to birth without fear and the right to have a powerful and therapeutic birthing experience.

I believe my role as a doula is to support relationships, and support a partner’s role in the labor and delivery process.

I believe that due to racial disparities in healthcare, birth work is inherently political and that it is my duty, and the duty of all birth workers to commit to being anti-racist and provide advocacy when needed in the birthing space.

I practice from a social justice perspective and are honored to serve all types of families regardless of race, religion, class, marital status, sexual orientation, or gender expression.
