Born and raised in New York City, I am a grounded, genuine, and fun-loving yet diligent, evidence-based birth doula serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. Known for my friendly and calm presence, I bring a sense of ease to the birth space while remaining highly organized and knowledgeable, ensuring my clients feel supported, informed, and empowered every step of the way.

My journey into birth work really began when I became a big sister at age seven. Nurturing my sibling and witnessing my mother’s pregnancy sparked a deep fascination that stayed with me. But it wasn’t until I completed my birth doula training that I truly understood how vital and political birth work is. It’s about so much more than hip squeezes, massages, essential oils, and twinkly lights (though I love those too!). To me, this work is about protecting and supporting every birthing person’s rights—empowering them with autonomy, confidence, and strength through their unique birth journey.

I've always followed my curiosity, even when it led me down unexpected paths. After changing majors twice and earning a degree in graphic design, my love for holistic well-being took me further—into training in health coaching, yoga, and the culinary arts. Every aspect of my background weaves into the care and perspective I bring to my clients.

When I’m not supporting growing families, you’ll find me adventuring with my dog, Harlow, biking or rollerblading along the Hudson River, experimenting in the kitchen, picking up new skills, or unwinding with a well-earned Netflix marathon.
