Having access to support during pregnancy can have a lasting impact on a person’s well being. As a full spectrum doula, I am trained to provide support for the full range of pregnancy outcomes, ​including abortion. My offerings include a variety of educational, physical, emotional, and spiritual forms of support. Whether it is a medicated or unmedicated birth, vaginal or cesarean, a miscarriage or an abortion, I would be honored to be part of your journey and I am here to support you wholeheartedly. My intention is for all people to feel safe, heard, and cared for throughout their journey.

Abortion & Miscarriage

Data shows that a third of women in the US have had an abortion. It is also estimated that 30% of all pregnancies will result in a miscarriage. Despite this common experience, many people undergo abortions and miscarriage in isolation or with little support. With every pregnancy outcome, my job is to provide non-judgemental support and ensure you feel safe, heard, and cared for throughout your journey. Support could look like any combination of the following:

-Accompaniment during appointments
-Care at home during medical abortions
-Traditional aftercare treatments (see Traditional Remedies)
-Ceremony
-Grief processing program
