Labor, birth, postpartum and abortion doula services for the San Francisco Bay Area

About Me

I was lucky enough to be raised in a family of educators and caregivers, and started babysitting on my own at 11 to save money for college. After babysitting and nannying throughout my teens and early twenties, I started a corporate career. However, I realized that caregiving work was what fed my soul and also allowed me to build community, shape lives and have a positive impact on children and families. After doing this work full time again for more than five years, I wanted to expand my knowledge base so that I could do more to serve my community, and began training as a birthworker and doula. I am now certified as a labor and birth doula, abortion doula and have completed my postpartum doula training as well. I am also fully trained in infant, child and adult CPR and first aid. I am eager to help you and your family and be an advocate for you in whatever way is needed.

As a birthworker and doula, I am committed to facilitating support and building community for all my clients. I will validate, respect and care for others as I work to expand justice and rights for them. I am motivated to be open and honest in this work and always be aware that there is more to learn - from myself, my clients and my teachers.

Services

  • As your doula, we would meet several times before the birth to develop a birth plan, discuss options and rights, conduct childbirth education, and discuss any possible issues or complications. I would be present during the birth as needed and would also perform two post-partum visits.

  • As your post-partum doula, we would decide on a schedule and time frame for me to come and regularly assist in the post-partum period, either with the infant or with household tasks.

  • As your abortion doula, I would assist as needed in helping to determine what steps were necessary, attending appointments, providing support, and being present as needed for during and after-care.

  • Performing childcare services as needed for all clients, on an hourly basis.
