I am a mother of five and a grandmother of eighteen. I have been present for the births of nine of my grandchildren. I am a “mother of mothers” and also a mother of two angels. I understand the complexity and beauty of growing a family, and I recognize the level of care, advocacy, and unwavering support pregnancy requires.

I received my doula certification through the Birthworkers of Color Collective and have completed additional training in Spinning Babies®, Ayurvedic Postpartum Practitioner Training, perinatal mental health, herbalism, abortion support including trans-affirming abortion support, and advocacy for birth workers. I am a certified Perinatal Patient Advocate through the Perinatal Patient Advocacy Center and I received my Postpartum Mental Health Certification from Postpartum University. I remain actively involved in reproductive justice and work with a community-based organization that provides prenatal services and supplies to unhoused women. 

I serve both Medi-Cal and cash paying clients because access to care should never be determined by income. I am comfortable in high-stakes, complex situations and bring a calm, steady presence into moments that can often feel chaotic or overwhelming. I listen to every detail and desire my clients have, provide evidence-based information, advocate throughout every stage, and proudly protect their “birth bubble” during labor and postpartum. I believe pregnancy is a fierce, powerful process that should be facilitated with respect, trust and genuine care. I bring a steady, judgement-free presence to birth and postpartum care, blending practical knowledge with a deep respect for each person's individual path. I believe that birth is not solely a medical event but a threshold which every woman deserves to cross with support, safety, dignity and compassion.
