About Me

I am a trained birth & postpartum doula offering evidence-based doula services & massage therapy in Western New York. As a practicing Licensed Massage Therapist for more than 10 years, I have been inspired and intrigued by the power of the human body. That interest grew exponentially after the birth of my first son.

My first birth experience was not what I expected & left me wondering if I could have done more to ensure that my voice was heard. Throughout my first year postpartum, I spent hours researching birth. Those who seemed to have a more positive experience had one thing in common: the support of a doula.

I have since birthed my second son! I had an amazing and empowering VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean) with the support of a Doula. Having her made all the difference, and really validated the choices I have made on this career path.

I am proud to support families of all race, faith, sexuality, gender identity, marital status, age, immigration status, or family configuration in & around the Buffalo area. Let’s work toward the positive birth & postpartum transition you deserve.
