Birth Doula | she/they
My curiosity around psychology and wellness have been my muse since I was 16, cultivating a commitment to helping others live happier, healthier lives. With this mission as my motivation, I delved into the fascinating fields of psychology and business at the University of California, San Diego, where I met my partner. He is a beacon of inspiration in my life. With his unwavering kindness, and selfless generosity, he inspires me to live each day to its fullest and to spread joy and abundance wherever I go. I am truly grateful to have him by my side.
In my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga, aerial silks, weightlifting, crocheting, baking, cooking, and painting. I believe in embracing life and making opportunities for joy and connection. I find inspiration in nature, and I find solace in reminding myself of how small I am in the grand scheme of things. I find mindfulness to be incredibly helpful, and I use it to accept what is, move with the flow, and find peace by coming back to my breath and my body.
I became a doula during the pandemic when I saw a perfect opportunity to support people through one of the most intense transitions of their lives. My philosophy is that 90% of the time, all someone needs is a supportive team and a safe environment to give birth to their baby.
