Home birth midwifery care and well woman care in San Jose, CA and it's surrounding cities.
Birth and Postpartum Doula serving the Bay Area (Redwood City to Santa Cruz, CA). My role as a birth doula is to create a safe space and empower all birthing people and families to have a positive birth experience. During our prenatal visits, I support your choices and listen to your desires and preferences. I help you intuitively connect with your baby, and empathically guide you as you discover the parent you are becoming. Birth is a rite of passage and I help you trust your body, trust the process, and trust your birth team so you can move forward with confidence to meet your baby. During our time together, we will build upon and embrace your inner strength and power. We discuss your goals and desires, working as a team to achieve the best experience possible. I am a student Midwife and love sharing my midwifery knowledge with my clients. I am trained and experienced in joyfully supporting: Hospital birth, birthing centers, homebirth, epidural-supported birth, induction, VBAC, Breech and ECV, LGBTQIA2S+, unmedicated birth and IVF. I am excited to join you on this journey towards a beautiful and positive birth experience.
