Supporting you through life’s greatest transitions—and all the many ways you get there.

Holding space as you move through life’s greatest transitions.

From fertility and conception, to abortion, birth, adoption, surrogacy, postpartum (which lasts forever), and all the other facets of reproductive health and care, I will support you. I’m deeply committed to offering inclusive, trauma-informed, judgment-free support to all folks and families, whatever path they’re on.

Empowering you to make decisions that feel right for you.

After my own birth and postpartum experiences, I’m especially called to support in-hopsital births, planned c-births, and high-risk pregnancies. It’s here that I believe most folks can benefit from the support of a doula as their births become medically managed and their postpartum experiences become hyper-normalized. It’s my job to ensure you have all the information available to you to make empowered decisions.

Offering what you need, when you need it.

Our time together will differ day-to-day, moment-to-moment, and support looks different from one person to the next. If we work together, we are joined in community—that’s very important to me and the reason why I’m called to this work. We don’t have to be best friends (although, I definitely have a broken heart necklace with your name on it) but we will get to know each other deeply.

Take what you need, give what you can.

My rates are a suggested exchange for my time, energy, and support. It’s difficult for me to equate community support with money when very often, the people who need the most support are those who cannot access it. If it’s available to you to pay more than my suggested rate, your money will be redistributed within the community. I also commit to redistributing 10% of any exchange to different local birth, postpartum, and reproductive support workers, groups, or organizations.

If support is financially inaccessible to you, please email me, and together, we’ll figure it all out—birth and postpartum support is a privilege for many, I acknowledge that.

Sliding Scale

Volunteer Community Support: let us hold you

Everyone is deserving of support – always – but especially during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Support in these times is a privilege for many. As a community-focused, full-spectrum birth worker, I offer free support for anyone experiencing abortion or loss and volunteer birth and postpartum support to folks who have trouble meeting their basic needs. If this is you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Reciprocal Energy Exchange: what you can, when you can

I’m all about creative ways to exchange support. Maybe you have something to trade, energy to share, or need to split your payments over the course of your pregnancy. I welcome all suggestions! What this is not: a way for someone with financial access to receive support at a lower cost. This devalues not only my experience and support but my fellow birth workers and the profession as a whole, too. I am only able to offer such flexibility in payment because I have a whole other life as a very busy writer and dual family income.

Full Community Tether: we all lift each other up

If finances are no barrier for you, I trust that you will offer my full exchange. In doing so, I am able to distribute 10% of any fee back into the community—and 100% of anything above my suggested rate. Sometimes this might look like supporting local BIPOC and LGBTQ12S+ birth workers, reproductive justice orgs, or local reproductive health groups, other times, it might look like paying for my expenses during volunteer birth support or delivering diapers, formula, and food to those who need it. I commit to full transparency on where your dollars go. I can only do this because of the great privilege I have as a cis white woman in this heteronormative world, graciously living on the unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Peoples.
