I’ve been fascinated by birth for as long as I can remember. While learning to sew with my grandma, I used to ask her again and again what giving birth was like—what happened, how it felt, and how it impacted her. I continue to be driven by this fascination as I explore women’s power and the innate connections we have to the earth and life itself, including the ways healing the feminine and protecting the earth and women’s bodies are deeply intertwined. Doula work feels like a natural extension of this.

One of the biggest things that draws me to doula work, especially postpartum, is the emotional side. I enjoy supporting people in tender moments and being a steady, loving presence. Learning about reproductive justice and maternal and infant mortality, particularly here in New Mexico, has further shaped my commitment to this work.

I’ve spent years working closely with families as an au pair and nanny, which shaped how I understand care, attachment, and emotional safety. I’m currently completing my CAPPA Postpartum Doula certification and will also be completing Circle of Security training. One of my biggest goals as a postpartum doula is to help parents get off to a strong start and supporting bonding and secure attachment to last a lifetime.

Outside of doula work, I love movement, learning, and being in nature. I’m training to be a dance teacher and enjoy exploring movement that feels joyful and expressive. I work part-time with YUCCA (Youth United for Climate Crisis Action), where I help host the podcast and enjoy finding interesting guests to speak with. I can also often be found barefoot by the Rio Grande.

I moved to Albuquerque in the summer of 2024, drawn by the mountains, sunshine, and the feeling of possibility here. I was born in Utah and have also lived in India and Germany, and I hope to live abroad again one day. Wherever I am, I’m guided by a love for people, the earth, and showing up with care.
