Doula Support Offerings
I am a full spectrum doula, which means I provide support to all pregnancy endings & experiences.
For the past 5 years I have supported people during their pregnancies so that they can can make the choices they need to for their lives, bodies and families, so that they can thrive.
I was trained as a Full Spectrum Doula through the Birthworkers of Color Collective Full Spectrum Doula Training in 2021. I then took the Advanced Full Spectrum Doula training through the Birthworkers of Color Collective in 2022.
My doula certifications are available to my clients upon request.
I work with my clients and their insurance providers to maximize their doula benefits. Depending on the insurance plan and type I may be eligible for doula coverage.
