Job Description
As a full spectrum doula I support families through the perinatal time in their lives physically, emotionally and informationally. This is the time when people prepare to have a baby, are pregnant, or have recently had a baby. I am prepared to support all families including those with more complex support needs such as complex preexisting health, our LGBTQ2S community, those with complex trauma, and vulnerable people. I am also trained in loss support, and abortion care.

Career Story
I began transitioning into a career as a full spectrum doula after the births of my own two children. Having had 2 very different experiences, one with and one without a doula, I felt called to share the support I received with others. Growing up a child of disabled parents, I’m a natural care taker that felt my natural abilities to problem solve and sit with folks in pain could be needed in our region, and I was right. Now I’ve been a full spectrum doula since 2016 and I’ve served over 100 families in our region.
