The ability to nurture and the privilege of childbearing lead us to what is sacred in life. I became a doula to nourish childbearing, at one of its most delicate and cherished moments: the magical time of bonding with, and treasuring your baby. It is a space when time matters; and time is one of the most important gifts I can give.

I grew up in a family with twelve siblings, where helping out and taking care of others were a big part of everyday life. The birth of my son taught me first hand about the emotional, psychological, and physical needs essential for you and your baby to bond and thrive. The needs of a postpartum family are not just limited to the first few months after a baby arrives; and I work helping families with children who range from newborn on up. I am available for day or night care. I have experience with:

Breastfeeding
Postpartum depression
Family transitions
Sleep (for moms and babies)
Nutrition

I also have access to an extensive network of resources for new families, or families welcoming a new member. My experience:

I've been working around babies and families for 20 years.
I became a certified doula through The Seattle Midwifery School in 2003.
I have 5 1/2 years breastfeeding experience and am in the process of becoming a lactation consultant.
I have experience working with mothers of multiples.
I am a registered counselor, an independent trainer of Compassionate Communication, and teach classes at Washington Women's Employment and Education.

I look forward to supporting your family.
