“There is so much beauty in the postpartum period. Having emotional, mental, and physical support in place is the greatest gift one can give themselves and their family during this special time."

Her personal journey through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood bring an additional layer of empathy, understanding, and solidarity to her role as a postpartum doula. In her free time, you will find her at home in San Rafael with a hot cup of tea, knitting, finding moments to breathe in the ocean air at Bay Area beach, and soaking up every moment of time spent with her daughter Lucy.
