Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: As a mom of four, I will bring invaluable first hand experience to my work as a birth professional, deeply understanding the emotional and physical journey of motherhood. My background in Early Childhood education enhances my ability to support infant development, providing expert guidance to new parents. My Doula training equips me with the skills to offer compassionate care, comfort, and advocacy during postpartum recovery and infant care. Having provided birth assistance , I am well-versed in managing a variety of birth scenarios. Together, my personal and professional experience enables me to offer holistic, empathetic, and practical support to families during this critical time.
What led you to become a Doula?: My journey towards becoming a birth professional was inspired by my own experience as a mother of four, where I recognized the challenges faced by first-time and single moms with limited support. I developed a deep compassion for these women, understanding the need for emotional and practical guidance during such a life-changing time. Witnessing the disparities in access to care and support in the urban communities fueled my desire to provide holistic care. With a passion for healthy child development and a strong background in early childhood education, I felt called to support these families and help them find confidence and secure in caring and raising their child in the best possible way. As a birth professional, my desire is to provide personalized emotional and physical support, guiding mothers and parents through the postpartum period. I'll offer education on newborn care, breastfeeding, and self-care, while creating a nurturing environment. My goal is to empower mothers and parents to feel confident and supported in their parenting journey.
