Birth & Postpartum Support 〰️ Rooted in Knowledge, Care, and Trust 〰️
I offer comprehensive doula care for all birth experiences—hospital, home, medicated, unmedicated, or cesarean. My practice is evidence-based, emotionally attuned, and personalized to meet your needs.
What I provide:
Insurance-Covered Services
I’m an in-network provider for Medi-Cal, Partnership Health Plan and Kaiser Permanente. Most clients pay nothing out of pocket for prenatal visits, labor support, and postpartum care. Learn more about what your insurance covers here.Prenatal Education & Planning
We'll cover anatomy and physiology, pain management strategies, emotional preparation, birth preferences, postpartum recovery, and more—so you can enter labor feeling confident and informed.
(Yes, I support planned cesareans with the same intention and care as any other birth.)Labor and Birth Support
I provide continuous emotional and physical support, hands-on comfort measures, guidance for your partner, and help navigating unexpected changes in your birth plan—whether you're birthing at home or in a hospital.Postpartum Doula Care
I support healing, feeding (chest/breast/bottle), infant care, emotional wellbeing, sibling adjustment, and more—offering grounded, nonjudgmental support in those early weeks.
About Me
My love for birth began when I witnessed my mom give birth to my sister at home. My aunties, the midwives, and our family were all present and I saw the raw power and beauty of having people you trust holding you as you bring life into the world. At age six, I decided and told my family that I wanted to be a midwife.
Since then, I’ve:
Completed multiple doula trainings and certifications (Cornerstone, DONA)
Attended home births, hospital births, epidural births, unmedicated births, and cesareans
Began accepting insurance to make doula care more accessible
Earned credentials in BLS and neonatal resuscitation
Finished prerequisites for nursing school (with the intention of becoming a CNM)
I bring a blend of emotional presence, clinical knowledge, and trust in you as the expert in your own experience. Whether I’m offering hip squeezes, translating medical jargon, or helping you find your intuition, I’m here for you.
What I believe about birth:
Birth is a normal physiological process, but that doesn’t mean it’s predictable. Every birth unfolds in its own way, and my role is to walk with you through the intensity of it all, providing education, advocacy, and compassionate care at every turn.
I believe:
Informed choice is the foundation of a positive birth.
Support should be inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive.
There’s no gold standard for birth, only the version that feels safest, healthiest, and most aligned for you. No birth is a failure.
Birth is political. Access, safety, and respect should not be privileges. They should be guarantees.
I support all birthing people, including queer, trans, and nonbinary parents in their unique family building journeys. As an ally to Black and Brown people, I’m dedicated to dismantling systemic racism in birth work.
