Personal Profile:
I am an active and adventurous doula, who has been caring for babies and toddlers since I was young - beginning with my little sister who is 10 years my junior. I've been a postpartum doula for over 5 years and I love supporting new parents with getting acclimated to their little one.
I believe knowledge is power and love sharing what I've learned from working with dozens of families and parents, who may be a little nervous when they bring their newborn home - from latching to sleep schedules.
My hobbies are baking and cooking (plant-based/vegetarian), gardening, and exercising. I also love taking kids on a walk to enjoy nature and jump in the fallen leaves!
