I AM YOUR VILLAGE WITH HOLISTIC SUPPORT
The Ultimate Care Trio: Birth and Postpartum Doula & Newborn Care Specialist
The early weeks of parenthood are often a beautiful blur of joy and overwhelm. By blending my roles as a Birth and Postpartum Doula along with my extensive Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) experience, I offer a unique, 360-degree approach to your family’s wellness. While many providers focus on either the parent or the child, before, or after birth, I bridge those gaps—providing expert support and care for the soon to be parent and their newborn while simultaneously "mothering the mother" and supporting the partner with seamless, continuous care.
With over 20 years of experience, several degrees, and a heart for holistic healing, I provide the specialized expertise needed to handle newborn health, sleep, and feeding, alongside the compassionate doula support required for your emotional and physical recovery.
Holistic Guidance Every Step of the Way
- For You: Compassionate doula support before, during and after birthing for postpartum healing, lactation guidance, and emotional processing of your birth journey.
- For Your Baby: Expert NCS care including sleep hygiene, feeding schedules, umbilical and circumcision care, and neonatal monitoring.
- For the Household: Bringing order to the chaos by establishing gentle routines and organizing the flow of the new family unit.
The Sisu Touch: From Chaos to Calm. My presence - be in the hospital or in your home - is designed to lower the volume of the outside world. By combining high-level clinical knowledge with a nurturing, holistic touch, I help replace the nerves and initial "survival mode" with a sense of peace and resilience. I don’t just care for you, or the baby; I empower you to find your rhythm, ensuring your birth is the sacred experience you want to be, and your home a sanctuary where your family can truly thrive.

The Start of your sisu journey
Prenatal Birth Doula Support
While many focus solely on the medical aspects of birth, I believe in a holistic approach that prioritizes your emotional safety, physical comfort, and informed autonomy. As your Birth Doula, I serve as your unwavering advocate and a steady anchor during one of life’s most transformative experiences.
My goal is to provide a "Sisu" experience: building the inner strength and resilience you need to navigate labor with confidence. By blending evidence-based information with intuitive, hands-on comfort, I ensure that you and your partner feel supported, heard, and empowered—no matter how your birth story unfolds.
The Pillars of Birth Support:
- For the Birthing Person: Personalized comfort measures including breathwork, positioning, and continuous emotional encouragement to reduce anxiety and manage sensation.
- For the Partner: Guiding your support person with practical tools and reassurance, allowing them to remain fully present and connected to you.
- For the Experience: Bridging the gap between your birth preferences and the clinical environment, ensuring you have the information needed to make empowered choices.
