BECAUSE THE WAY YOU BIRTH matters, AND YOU DESERVE A DOULA WHO gets it.
NO BULLSH*T, NO JUDGEMENT, JUST REAL SUPPORTI created this space for families who want more than a checklist or a cheerleader. Families who want real, grounded support through the full arc of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My time as both a L&D nurse and a doula allow me to translate medical talk while also carrying trust for the deep inner knowing that parents carry into birth.What sets me apart is the balance: I can read the room during labor, advocate for your choices when your medical team gets weird about it, and adapt in the moment regardless of your birth environment. My presence bridges the gap in care by collaborating closely with the hospital staff during your birth (especially at Barton, Carson Tahoe, or Tahoe Forest); ensuring your team works together seamlessly for YOU, not for convenience or hospital policy.SOUTH LAKE TAHOE’S hospital birth DOULA
FROM THE moment YOU DECIDE WE’RE A MATCH, I’M all in.
We go deep from the very beginning. Together, we'll get crystal clear on what you want for your birth, work through your biggest questions and concerns, and create a roadmap that feels aligned with your values.
You'll never be left to figure it out alone. Whether it's a scheduled session, a quick question that's been weighing on you, or one of those late-night "what if..." spirals, you'll have someone in your corner to help you sort through the noise. Always.
Every family's journey looks a little different, so the way we work together is intentionally personalized. Whether we're preparing virtually throughout pregnancy or I'm supporting you in-person through birth itself, my goal is always the same: helping you walk into your birth feeling calm, informed, confident, and never alone.
It's about having someone who couldn't care less about hospital politics, but cares deeply about making sure your voice is heard and respected.

From our first prenatal conversation to the early weeks of life with your baby when you’re wondering what the hell just happened, I’m on your side with whatever it is you need. I take the time to get to know you, your unique birth vision, and what truly matters most to your family.
