Meet Our Postpartum Doulas

I certified as a postpartum doula right after completing my birth training. I knew without a doubt I wanted to walk alongside families through the fourth trimester, a time that can feel really challenging and tender. My goal is to make a positive difference in that experience by lightening both the physical and mental load, so parents have more space to rest, recover, and actually enjoy those early moments with their baby.

I decided I wanted to become a Postpartum Doula when I was in nursing school. I was drawn to L&D but realized nursing wasn’t the right fit for me—instead, I found my love for doula work. I discovered how meaningful postpartum support felt to me.

Educating clients on newborn care, supporting new moms, and being a hands-on caregiver to newborns became the work that brought me the most joy. As a Postpartum Doula, I get the opportunity to truly get to know my clients and support them through the newborn phase, which isn’t always an easy season to navigate.

After having my first baby in 2016, I found myself in over my head. I loved my baby deeply, but the transition into parenthood was much harder than I expected. Becoming a parent changed my relationship with myself, my body, my identity, and the way I moved through the world.Like many new parents, I struggled during the postpartum period. Once I found the help I needed, I began to enjoy parenting in a new way and realized how life-changing the right support can be.That experience inspired me to learn how to better support families during their own transition into parenthood.

After working as a birth doula, I saw so clearly how intense, emotional, and vulnerable those first days and weeks after birth can be and how much families still need care, reassurance, and grounding during that time. I realized that support doesn’t just end once the baby is born and so I became a postpartum doula. I wanted to continue showing up for families when everything is new, overwhelming, and tender, and help them feel more supported as they adjust to life with a newborn.

I’ve always cared deeply about reproductive justice and helping people feel informed and supported without shame around their bodies and choices. (Hence me becoming a social worker focusing on advocacy for young parents and sexual health education for the past 8 years)

My connection to birth work started in 2019, when I went to Madagascar and assisted births at a rural birthing center.  I jumped right in, witnessing and supporting many births in a completely different setting to the United States.This was life-changing, as I witnessed how powerful and beautiful birth can be when supported by a true community. 

When I returned to the U.S, I worked a variety of community health roles, got my masters in social work, and then became a doula as a way to bring all of my work together in a more direct, hands-on form. I’ve always been passionate about helping people feel informed, empowered, and supported as they make choices that feel right for them. Paired with my love of movement and helping people feel connected to their bodies, birth work became a space where many of my passions aligned.

When parents are able to step away, rest, and take care of their own needs, it supports them in caring for their baby in a more sustainable and grounded way. My goal as a postpartum doula is to help clients build skills and confidence they can keep using long after I’m gone. I believe in intentional, compassionate support and on asking real questions so I can truly understand how my clients are feeling and how they’re doing.

Postpartum work feels deeply personal to me because I know how vulnerable and overwhelming that season can be. I was a young mother myself, and looking back there are so many ways I wish I had been supported and cared for during that transition.I became passionate about helping families not just survive postpartum, but actually feel held through it. I love helping create calmer homes, more confident parents, and softer landings after birth.

When parents feel supported, nourished, and cared for, everything shifts. People heal better, feel less isolated, and are able to settle into parenthood with more confidence and connection. Clients often tell me that I bring a calming and grounding presence into their home. I try to make things feel less overwhelming and more manageable, whether that means helping with newborn care, making food, tidying up, or simply helping someone take a deep breath and feel cared for.

I feel like I happened upon this work, and I'm so grateful I did. I was looking for a job while pregnant, and found a business that was doula-owned, that allowed babies at work.

I got to witness first hand doulas working with new moms, and was enamored. I knew this support was something I wanted to provide to others! My personal postpartum journey was a wild ride, for lack of better words, that it only solidified how passionate I am about this work.

The postpartum journey can be challenging. The physical and mental changes that occur after having a baby surprises most moms—and even when they are prepared, it’s hard to understand the intensity of it until you’re living it. That’s why I’m passionate about providing doula care that uplifts, honors, and enhances each family’s postpartum experience.

I show up knowing that every journey is unique, and my goal is to offer support that feels personalized, compassionate, and meaningful. I am passionate to help families feel cared for in the little and big ways, seen in their experience, and more able to settle into this new season with confidence.

I am a mother to five kids and in each of those experiences I received nurturing care that sustained me, my healing and ultimately my bonding to my babies.

Those experiences led me to believe that support during this postpartum time is key to a mother feeling held in what can be a very challenging time. Being a doula for the past 20 years has been the most rewarding and beautiful work I’ve ever done. 

I often describe postpartum as being like visiting a new country. There are so many joys, challenges, and unfamiliar moments, along with opportunities to learn so much about yourself and your baby. Having a guide who understands the landscape—and can help translate it along the way—can make all the difference.

What clients often notice most about my support is the care I put into simple, grounding things—like cooking nourishing meals and making sure families feel looked after in practical ways. 

My goal as a postpartum doula is to help parents feel well rested, well fed, and well informed so they can begin their parenting journey with more ease and confidence.

I’ve loved working with children throughout my adult life, both in the classroom and as a nanny. I was a nanny for 17 years and my favorite part has always been infant care. THis naturally led me toward postpartum doula work, and it has become my greatest joy.

I feel postpartum support matters because it helps promote infant care and safety while also supporting the mental health and wellbeing of the mother. I aim to help parents feel more confident navigating newborn care, while also offering a safe, steady, and nurturing presence for mothers during this transition.

Clients often say what stands out most about my support is my patience and my nurturing nature with mothers. I strive to bring calm, steady care into a time that can feel both beautiful and overwhelming.
