As a mom of three (ages 15, 13, and 11), I know firsthand how exciting and overwhelming a child’s birth can be. I also know how extra support helps the whole family adjust. I have been a doula for 12 years and have been lucky enough to support over 400 families. I learn something new from each family and am constantly striving to learn more and become an even better doula. My pronouns are she/her.

Philosophy: I don’t have a birth or family-raising philosophy- at least not one that I instill upon you. It’s your birth and your family- what’s your philosophy? Are you looking to go all-natural, or do you want drugs the second you walk into the hospital? Want to avoid all interventions, or are you open to them? Home birth or a scheduled Cesarean? Attachment Parenting? Breastfeeding or formula feeding? Regardless- it’s your birth, your baby, and your family. I’ll get you plenty of information so you can make informed decisions, but when it comes down to it, they are your decisions to make. My job is to support you in those decisions. Period. Your birth. Your way. 100% supported. Certified Perinatal Doula through the Rhode Island Certification board since November 2021. I am a proud member of Doulas of Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Birth Worker Co-Op.
