I specialize in twins, triplets, and nontraditional families.​

Having multiples is a different experience than taking care of one baby. Each baby has its own needs and wants, even in the first hours of life. I have helped a number of families make the difficult and rewarding adjustments to living and managing life with new twins and triplets. Feeding, bathing, diapering, and getting one infant back to sleep can be overwhelming in itself. Having another one to add to the mix can only intensify frustrations. I can keep the calm (or bring it back) and help your family find balance again. 


I am a strong ally of the LGBTQ+ community, I appreciate the diversity here in the Bay Area, and love to celebrate each family's uniqueness. 


Check with your company to see if they will reimburse you for my services. Many companies have begun to recognize the benefits of doula care for new families. Because I am a Certified Doula, it is quite possible that you would be able to be reimbursed. 


​I'm also an avid photographer and would love the opportunity to photograph your new bundle of joy!

SF Bay Area Postpartum & Birth Doula


I love working as a doula - Greek for "mothering the mother".

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise with the family, drawing from my background in nursing and infant care.


As a postpartum doula, I am primarily there to support the new parents through the process of learning to care for themselves and their new infant(s). Every family is unique, and every baby within each family is unique too. Embracing this allows me to provide highly tailored care to everyone. This should be the most exciting and rewarding time of your life, but can also be challenging. That is where I come in! 


Within moments of stepping into the home of a newborn, where chaos and clutter have taken over, I can help achieve a state of calm and well being for the entire family.
