My first introduction to birth began as a teenager while growing up in Minnesota. My friend’s mother was midwife and her birth stories always fascinated me. In 2016 I attended my first births with a home birth midwifery practice in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Soon after I began doula work in 2017 after completing certification through DONA International. In Minnesota, I worked for Everyday Miracles, a non-profit doula organization serving low income families. I primarily provided doula services to Latino families.

​I moved to Kauai In 2019 and became a licensed massage therapist. My clients enjoy the calming effects of therapeutic massage during pregnancy and birth. I am currently enrolled in The National College of Midwifery with plans of becoming a Certified Professional Midwife. I have done a year long midwifery apprenticeship with Leah Hatcher of Morning Glory Midwifery. During the summer of 2022 I attended births at Maternidad La Luz birth center in El Paso Texas. I am certified in NRP and CPR. ​I've attended over 90 births in hospitals, birth centers and at home. Most importantly, I support families to choose the birth setting that best matches their values. As a dancer, bodyworker and certified yoga teacher I bring an embodied approach to supporting doula clients that encourages clients to reflect upon their own stories. I hope to bring my expertise to your family. Outside of my passion for birth I am a dancer and I love to surf. I enjoy cooking good food, hiking and time with my friends.
