Nervous System Regulation and Hands-On Pain Relief for Your Birth

Before entering birth work, I spent six years as a Licensed Psychotherapist specializing in anxiety, OCD, nervous system regulation, and holistic wellness. This background equips me with a unique lens to support you through your prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey.

I am also a former massage therapist. I practiced massage therapy for 5 years before putting all my attention to the mental health field. This experience provides a specialized touch to safe body work that can support pain relief and nervous system regulation throughout your birthing journey

While my doula practice does not replace clinical therapy or standalone massage sessions, these complementary disciplines shape a steady, trauma-informed presence in and out of the birth room.
