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.

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 received my certification through CBI. I hold a current CPR certification for infants & children and I’m Trustline registered. In March of 2024 my family and I moved to our dream home in Mendocino County and offer my services locally and to surrounding territories to include Lake, Sonoma and Marin County.

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