My work focuses on the raw reality of birth and the profound shifts that follow. I am here to help you cultivate a steady, honest space where you can make autonomous choices with complete confidence. Whether your goal is a physiological homebirth or an empowered hospital experience, you deserve a skilled advocate who respects your inner authority and guards your birthing room.

My Path to This Work

I was drawn to birth work because it was the closest thing to magic I’ve ever found. Watching women move through such a raw, feral transformation, seeing them come apart and then rebuild stronger, made me want to be part of that process in a meaningful way.

But I’ve also learned that birth and postpartum don't follow a script; both are beautifully unpredictable. I work intuitively, picking up on the small details before they become big things. During birth, that looks like a well-timed hip squeeze the second a contraction starts, braiding your hair, or quietly guiding your partner so they can support you with confidence.

Once your baby has arrived, I troubleshoot the things you might not have the energy to think about, from feeding struggles to recovery tips. If something needs to be done, I take care of it without disrupting your peace. Whether I am tidying your space or keeping your water full, I handle the logistics so you can stay in your bubble. My goal is to be the stable, grounding presence in the room so you can focus fully on yourself and your baby.

What I Believe.

Birth changes everything: your body, your rhythms, and your sense of self. You deserve support that is truly present through that shift, regardless of where or how you choose to deliver. Birth has become deeply political, and parents are often judged for their choices. I have no agenda to push and no ideal birth to sell you. This is your story, not mine.

Whether you are planning a low-intervention homebirth or navigating the hospital system, I am there to protect your peace and bring a sense of calm to the environment. Plans shift and feelings change. I meet you exactly where you are, without forcing you into a script. You do not need a perfect plan to be ready; you just need an unwavering, grounded partner to hold the space so you can find your own way through.

Who I Work Best With.

My approach is a fit for those who value both a holistic heart and a practical head. I work best with clients who trust their own instincts and want to take an active, informed role in their birth experience. We work as a team with your partner and your midwife or OB, making sure everyone feels calm and supported.

Finding the right doula is a gut feeling. You should feel a genuine sense of ease, knowing you have someone by your side who stays fluid as plans change and brings a quiet stability when things get complex. If you want a doula who is intuitive but stays rooted in the reality of birth, I would love to talk with you.

What Grounds Me.

When I’m not with clients, you can usually find me outside trail running or biking. I train for an ultramarathon every year, and this season I’m working toward my third 50km trail race in Newfoundland. I love having a massive goal to focus on and spend a lot of my time on the trails around Bragg Creek and Kananaskis.

I’m married to an incredibly supportive husband. We met working as lifeguards and have been together for seven years. We share our home with two cats: Alvina, the angel who has never done anything wrong, and Phoebe, the one who wakes me up all night begging for food.

I’m an avid reader, mostly literary fiction, historical fiction, thrillers, and fantasy. If I find a book I love, I’ll usually finish it in a single day, so I’m always up for swapping recommendations.

I also have a deeply creative side. I’ve run an acrylic painting business for the past five years, focusing on realistic landscapes and wildlife inspired by the Pacific Northwest and the Canadian Rockies. Lately, I’ve been dabbling in pottery. My kitchen cabinets are completely overflowing with woodland and mountain-themed mugs I’ve made. It is the perfect winter hobby, and I’ve definitely been known to stay at the studio until 2 AM when I’m completely lost in a project.

Beyond the trails and the studio, I am a lover of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its principles shape how I look after my own well-being, emphasizing seasonal rhythms, deep nourishment, and balance. This ancient, holistic lens naturally weaves into my doula approach, helping me support your physical recovery and postpartum healing.
