Welcome to the Light

Hello all — I’m so glad you’re here! Life has taken me along many different paths as to find myself as a doula today. A mixture of academic, personal, and professional opportunities and detours brought me here, to a place where I offer my support to expecting parents who are poised to bring so much new life into the world. Outside of all the romanticized and idealized narratives of childbirth, there is a raw and primal experience that everyone walks through in their own way. Sometimes I wonder if we as a culture have moved too far away from feeling and the trust in our own instinct. Why have we been taught to minimize intuition? I’ve found that connecting and surrendering to the power of our innate abilities, especially when informed by evidence, can lead to the most incredible of experiences and outcomes. Birth can be a profoundly perfect illustration of that primal power.

So I ask you to join me on this crazy ride. Let’s listen to each other, learn what we can from each other, and lift each other up closer to the light.
