Peachy Births: Doula and Lactation Services

    Practice overview

    I'm a social worker by education. I've spent the last 7 years working with low-income families to empower and encourage sustainability and health literacy. I became interested in birth work when I began working on a project to reduce infant mortality. I realized that many birthing persons do not realize all of the decisions that they have to make before, during and after birth. And that they do, and should, have a say in all of these decisions. I want to help families make informed choices that will enhance their birth experience and bring a healthy person into the world safely.

    Care philosophy

    As a birth advocate, I'm interested in providing support to those who are birthing to enhance the birth experience. Every birthing person has the right to understand their options and make choices about their birth.

    Birth can be a wonderful experience. My goals are to help guide that experience. I am a Certified Doula, a Certified Lactation Counselor and a Certified Childbirth Educator.
