I’m a certified doula and a licensed lactation consultant living in Springfield, OR. When I’m not supporting new and growing families, I fill my cup by tending to the other things in my life that grow—mainly my daughter, my relationship with my husband, our animals, and our garden.

For a long time, I’ve found purpose in supportive roles in others’ lives, a natural extension of the privilege of having known loving support throughout my own life. Before I had a child of my own, I was a professional infant nanny and drawn to postpartum spaces, bringing a natural proclivity for newborn care and a soft energy that welcomes the intense vulnerability of new parenthood. After the birth of my daughter, this connection expanded, and I fell in love with the entire perinatal period.

In my work, I love emboldening families with evidence-based information, while also recognizing them as the true experts in their own lives. Holding space for parents to discover what feels most aligned for their unique family is a privilege, and it’s something I cherish witnessing.

My ultimate hope is to leave every family I work with feeling confident in their innate abilities and equipped with resources for when they need an extra hand.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—I love connecting and am happy to point you in another direction if the support I offer is not quite what you’re looking for.
