My Journey Into Birth Work

Long before I ever imagined becoming a doula, I was fascinated by birth. I watched every birth documentary I could find, followed pregnancy journeys online, and was captivated by the strength and resilience of women bringing babies into the world.

As I learned more, one thing continued to bother me: so many women believed they had somehow failed because their birth didn't go according to plan.

I couldn't understand how someone who carried, labored, and gave birth to their child could ever feel like a failure.

That realization became the foundation of my career.

I wanted to help families understand that birth isn't about earning a perfect experience it's about feeling respected, informed, and supported no matter how the journey unfolds.

My Philosophy

I don't believe there is one "right" way to give birth.

Some families dream of an unmedicated birth. Others know they want an epidural. Some are planning a scheduled cesarean, while others hope for a birth center or home birth.

To me, they're all beautiful.

I don't measure a successful birth by how a baby entered the world. I measure it by how a family felt while bringing that baby into the world. Were you heard? Were you respected? Did you understand your options? Did you feel like your decisions mattered? Did you walk away feeling proud of yourself?

That's what matters to me.

My role is never to steer you toward my own preferences or opinions. My role is to provide evidence-based education, help you understand your options, ask thoughtful questions, offer unwavering support, and help you make decisions that align with your own values, goals, and intuition.

I am deeply passionate about protecting your autonomy. I believe every woman deserves to understand what is happening, why it's being recommended, what alternatives exist, and to feel confident speaking up for herself. Whether your birth follows your original plan or changes unexpectedly, you deserve to feel like an active participant in your care not someone things are simply happening to.

I'm incredibly passionate about creating an environment where families feel safe, calm, and genuinely cared for. Sometimes that means advocating for a quieter room. Sometimes it means reminding you how strong you are. Sometimes it's helping your partner feel confident in supporting you. And sometimes it's simply sitting beside you in silence, offering a reassuring hand to hold.

Birth is one of the most transformative experiences a person can have. It isn't just about welcoming a baby it's about welcoming a new version of yourself.

Being invited into that sacred space is a responsibility I never take lightly. It is one of the greatest honors of my life, and I strive to make every family feel seen, respected, empowered, and deeply supported from the moment we meet until long after their baby is in their arms.

What Working With Me Feels Like

If you asked the families I've supported, they'd probably tell you I bring a calm presence into the room.

I pay close attention to what's happening not just physically, but emotionally too.

Sometimes that means offering hands-on comfort, suggesting a new position, or reminding you to breathe. Other times it means sitting quietly beside you, protecting your space, and helping you feel safe.

I also love supporting partners. Birth is a team effort, and helping partners feel confident and included is one of my favorite parts of this work.

Outside of Birth

When I'm not on call, you'll usually find me embracing all the little things that make life feel full. I recently moved to the beautiful foothills of Auburn and have fallen in love with slower mornings, wide-open spaces, and everything Northern California has to offer.

I'm a total girls' girl and love gathering the people I care about. Whether it's hosting themed parties, planning community events, enjoying a farm-to-fork dinner, visiting local wineries and breweries, grabbing coffee with friends, or spending a weekend exploring the Sierra Nevada, I love creating meaningful memories with the people around me.

I also have a creative side and enjoy fashion, home decorating, and anything with an Anthropologie-inspired aesthetic. I believe beautiful spaces and thoughtful details can make everyday life feel a little more special.

At home, my long-haired tabby cat, Marisol, keeps me company between births and proudly holds the title of RRDS's office kitty.

Beyond RRDS

In addition to supporting families, I co-host the podcast Girly Pop Birth Talks, where we have honest conversations about pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and navigating motherhood. My hope is to make evidence-based information approachable, empowering, and even a little fun.

My Promise to You

I want you to know that your story matters.

Whether your birth unfolds exactly as you imagined or takes unexpected turns, you deserve to feel heard, respected, and cared for every step of the way.

It is an incredible honor to be invited into such a meaningful chapter of someone's life, and I never take that responsibility lightly.

My hope is that when you look back on your experience, you remember more than how your baby was born you remember how supported, empowered, and deeply cared for you felt.

I can't wait to walk alongside you.
