These Are My People
My Village -
Who Supports How I Step In With Yours
Here's Why I Am Different
Since becoming a doula in 2019, I’ve grown, served, and thrived because my family has believed in me every single day. It took a long time for me to have the pieces in place, but I finally figured out my village — and I bring that same spirit into every home I walk into.
I know what it’s like to parent without enough hands-on help. My husband’s early-morning commute meant I did most of it solo, even with family nearby who loved us but weren’t the “knee-deep in diapers” type. We raised four children in Wyckoff, weathered real family ups and downs (including losing my mom in 2023), and came out the other side — so when you tell me you don’t want a certain friend or relative in your home during this tender time, I truly understand.
I’m a proud aunt, loyal friend, devoted “Golden Mom,” taco enthusiast, Instant Pot evangelist, and lover of long morning walks and Bollywood beats. I try not to let outside labels define me — and I encourage you to do the same when unsolicited advice comes your way.
Mentoring new doulas fills my cup, and if I’m not the right fit for you, I will personally make sure you find someone who is — someone who will hold you, rock your baby, and fold your laundry with love. You deserve nothing less than someone who shows up to help and serve.
Having walked through birth myself four times, I bring my full self — my education, my experience, and my family’s unwavering support — into supporting you and your partner as you step into parenthood. This is your chapter, tell me how I can help you make it memorable.
Continuing Education and Volunteering
Continuing Education is mandatory for doulas to maintain certification with the premiere organizations, like DONA and Cappa, and several others. Ask your doula how she spends those required hours – are they just free classes or time spent diving deeper into the topics that enhance her skills, highlight the passion she brings to her business.
As a doula committed to providing access and companionship to all birthing people, most of my hours are spent on topics related to lactation, including for NICU families, maternal mental health, as well as in education and prevention of still birth – the loss of a baby after week 20. In addition to the many CEU’s, I serve as an Ambassador to the Northeast for DONA and work hard to mentor, encourage and share work with newer doulas. To compliment that role, I volunteer as an Ambassador for Count The Kicks, speaking and sharing material with providers, agencies, families and anywhere else I find why counting kicks is important, and what the trends enable families to do reduce preventable stillbirth.
My style in supporting families is heavy on education and preparation. My ideal client is someone who wants to know how they can create the birth that most appeals to them in a system that is structured to keep everyone safe, which usually means more control of, and less trust of, the person in labor.
