Welcome!

I am DONA-trained for birth doula services and trained in abortion/miscarriage care by the Colorado Doula Project. During the school year, I volunteered with the Dial-a-Doula program at the University of Michigan Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital for two years. I have attended over 25 births, supporting clients from a variety of backgrounds with different goals and visions for their births. I am currently available for doula services in the Chapel Hill area at hospital, birth center, and home birth settings. I provide a sliding scale fee in order to be accessible to as many families as possible – please reach out for more information.

As a public health student, and someone who grew up invested in reproductive justice, training as a doula felt like a perfect match. To me, doula care is an act of resistance, centering the needs of a pregnant or birthing person over a medical system. To be part of your journey is a privilege I am constantly grateful of.

In addition to these doula services, I offer birth photography – in a package with birth doula services or on its own. Press the ‘Birth Photography’ button to see examples from past clients.
