Supporting Women in San Diego
As a mother who became a doula and now a midwife, I deeply understand the profound value of comprehensive birth and postpartum support. This support is crucial not only for the mother's well-being but also for the newborn's gentle transition from the womb to loving arms.
My journey has instilled in me a strong desire to serve. As a midwife, I know the importance of presence and advocacy. As a mother, my heart's greatest desire is to empower those I support, helping them not just cope, but truly thrive in the new rhythms of family life.
I firmly believe that women deserve to have options and choices in childbirth and throughout their postpartum season. I value education, preparation, and unwavering presence, recognizing that a well-supported mother is more likely to experience a positive birth outcome and flourish in the journey beyond.
I eagerly await the opportunity to connect with you and support you in the beautiful, creative process of growing your family.
