I trained as a birth and postpartum doula in 2011 with DONA International, and I attended my first births as a volunteer doula with Start From Seed, a small nonprofit in Asheville, North Carolina. Since then I have attended over 200 births and have supported nearly as many families in the postpartum period. I approach my work with the simplest of philosophies: that we all deserve informed, compassionate care as we become parents, and that this support has profound and lasting effects on our emotional and physical health.

I live in Northampton with my partner and two kids, and I am eternally grateful- for my community for supporting me through my own experience of becoming a parent, for the families who trust me to care for them on their parenting journeys, and for my children who will always be my greatest teachers.
