I love helping people, and becoming a doula feels like a personal calling—work from the heart. Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by birth and the strength it requires. My own beginnings in foster care inspired a deep commitment to supporting mothers through one of life’s most transformative moments. I’m pursuing training through the Sierra Childbirth Institute to assist at live births with midwife Michelle Nizza of “Mums the Word” in Monterey. As a doula, I strive to bring calm, confidence, and compassion to every birth experience.
