Born and raised in New York City, I am a grounded, genuine, fun-loving but still diligent, evidence based doula servicing Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Jersey City.

Becoming a big sister at age 7 taught me to be nurturing and independent, while witnessing my mother’s pregnancy planted the seed of fascination that would ultimately lead me to birth work. It wasn’t until I completed my birth doula training that I learned how political and important birth work is. It’s not just about hip squeezes, massages, essential oils, and twinkly lights (although those are pretty great too). To me, this work is about protecting and supporting every birthing persons rights; allowing them autonomy and strength through their unique birth journey.

I have followed my curiosity all my life, even when it’s led me in wildly different directions. After changing majors (twice) and graduating with a degree in graphic design, I have continued my education with training in holistic health coaching, yoga, and the culinary arts. Every facet of my background contributes to the knowledge and perspective I carry with me in all my endeavors.

When I’m not supporting my clients, you can find me hanging with my pup, Harlow, riding my bike along the Hudson River, trying a new recipe, teaching myself a new skill, or indulging in some much needed R&R with a good Netflix marathon!
