I’ve always known that I wanted to be in healthcare. My original path had taken me down the road to become a doctor and after years of studying and going to college; I found myself expecting my first child. Unfortunately I lost my beautiful baby girl full term due to still birth caused by a genetic disorder that was barely being researched or spoken about. I can recall the look of confusion on my doctors face at my appointment before my devastating loss. Ever since then I have been an advocate not only for my own health but in helping others find their voice within the healthcare system. 22 years and 3 children later, I still have that passion for helping women.

My friends call me a mother of many because I’ve helped birth and raise countless children in our community; but I also want to support women who are experiencing every beautiful stage of life. From pregnancy pre-planning, pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum, nutritional support and mastectomy and breast cancer support. I have an extensive knowledge of pregnancy related genetic disorders, medical terminology, natural labor and delivery techniques as well as labors that require medical interventions.

As a woman of color I know how the maternal mortality rates continue to rise within our communities. In the year 2022 this should not be the case. It’s been proven that women who have a doula in conjunction with their regular healthcare provider, are better informed, and can make decisions that can provide better outcomes and a more positive experience.
