A Birth & Postpartum Doula

In my lifetime I have floated around many interests and occupations, but the common thread has always been my passion for taking care of others. As early as I can remember, my parents called me "Little Mama" because I was always taking care of something or someone.  It's not surprising that the life experiences that I have found the most rewarding are the ones that revolved around caring for others.

I have lived in the North Bay Area for over 10 years. My family and I moved to Marin County in 2012 and I started working as caregiver for the elderly. I am so grateful for this experience because along the way I learned to connect with people on a very personal level while showing them dignity and respect and I'm certain this has benefited me in my profession as a doula. After my daughter was born in April of 2016, I decided I wanted to change career paths.

About a year later the door to becoming a doula swung right open and I ran through it! I completed training to become a Birth & Postpartum Doula in 2017 and I have been supporting families in Marin & Sonoma Counties ever since. I am a member of the Marin Doula Circle, I work collaboratively with Marin Community Clinics & Better Beginnings by volunteering my birth doula services to mothers in need locally. I’m current with CPR training for infants & children and I’m Trustline registered.

I'm so happy I finally found what I want to be when I grow up, I love what I do! I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a DOULA.
