Fermata Birth

I strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that puts my clients at ease and helps them feel comfortable sharing their hopes, fears, and concerns. I harmonize tradition and modern care for my clients' personalized birth experience.

At the heart of my Doula practice is a respect for the history and traditions of the Doula profession. I am passionate about honoring the legacy of the birthers who have come before us, and preserving the cultural significance of birth. I believe that everyone has the right to access quality care that is respectful of their cultural background, beliefs, identity, and values.

I have my BA in Physical Anthropology, rooted in a deep curiosity about the human body. I love to nerd out with my clients over the hows and whys of what it takes to grow and birth a human.

I am a Certified Doula and Rights Informed Birth Advocate through Cornerstone Birthwork Training and DONA International. I accept Medi-Cal insurance, and am contracted with both Kaiser and Partnership. As a Certified Doula, I adhere to the highest standards of professional training and practice, and am committed to continuing education.

I take pride in offering evidence based care and staying up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in the field. I believe in the power of informed decision making and aim to provide my clients with the knowledge and resources they need to make decisions that align with their values and preferences.
