As a mom and Certified Postpartum Doula with over 10 years of experience, I’ve had the honor of supporting hundreds of families and their newborns during their postpartum journey. I am trained through DONA and ProDoula, and certified by BEST Doulas. My background as a WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, Certified Lactation Counselor (CLEC, UC-Davis), and former Breastfeeding USA Counselor has given me the tools to provide compassionate, evidence-based breastfeeding support to my clients.

I am passionate about offering nonjudgmental, personalized care to families of all structures. My expertise lies in all things postpartum, and I’ve supported families with premature babies, multiples, those experiencing fertility challenges or loss, and provided affirming care for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC families. It’s truly a privilege to walk alongside families during such an intimate and transformative time, offering evidence-based guidance and emotional support as they transition into parenthood.

I grew up right here in Pittsburgh (Carnegie), and went to Carlynton High School. Now, I split my time between here and Wilmington, NC, where my husband teaches at UNCW. We have two daughters and are raising our adorable niece who just turned one. We also have the best cat ever, and a deranged husky named Yinzer.
