I’m a Tacoma, WA based birth worker, and I love supporting folks through the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and new parenthood. It has been my joy and honor to walk alongside birthing people and their support communities as they transition through this critical season of growth.
In 2015 I made my first foray into the world of birth work by helping a friend through a tough labor. I left that experience feeling deeply connected and alive, like I had done something I was made to do. In 2020, after holding that experience in my memory for five years, I decided to explore birth work more deeply, and trained to be a labor and birth doula with Cornerstone Doula Trainings. Throughout my training, and with each new client I serve, I have grown in my love of birth, and in my desire for every person who gives birth to experience their power and their belovedness in the process. I’m utterly dismayed by the amount of trauma birthing people experience in the medical system and in American society. I’m committed to advocacy on behalf of each of my clients as they navigate medical spaces, and to disrupting the dehumanizing systems that disproportionately harm Black, Indigenous, and people of color, and queer and trans people who give birth.
I’m White American, cis-straight, I use she/her pronouns, and I parent two bi-racial kids with my husband who is Vietnamese American. We live in Tacoma, WA on land stewarded by the Puyallup tribe.
