I grew up in a military family, moving often and learning the value of community. My passion for birth work began during my own pregnancy, leading me to become a doula and childbirth educator. For over 13 years, I have practiced as a doula, offering 2SLGBTQIA+-friendly, full-spectrum, and non-judgmental care. Throughout my career, I have worked in the community in various capacities, supporting individuals and families through their reproductive journeys.
I am an instructor in the Fanshawe Doula Studies program and am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Wilfrid Laurier University. I believe in lifelong learning and am dedicated to providing compassionate, inclusive, and client-centered care. Based in London, Ontario, I serve the London, Stratford, and St. Thomas areas.
