About

At Different Storks Doula Services, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support to growing families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. As a certified labor and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and lactation consultant, my mission is to empower parents with the knowledge, confidence, and personalized care they need to make informed decisions and enjoy a positive birth and parenting experience. With over eight years of experience working in OB/GYN, I bring a strong clinical foundation along with a nurturing, client-centered approach to every family I serve. My background has given me valuable insight into maternal health, pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum recovery, and newborn care, allowing me to provide informed support while honoring each family's unique goals and preferences. Whether I'm guiding expectant parents through childbirth education, offering continuous labor support, assisting with postpartum recovery, or helping families establish successful breastfeeding and infant feeding routines, I strive to create a calm, supportive environment where parents feel heard, respected, and confident. At Different Storks Doula Services, I believe every family deserves compassionate care, advocacy, and encouragement during one of life's most meaningful transitions. It is an honor to walk alongside families as they welcome new life, helping them feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
