Medi-Cal Now Covering Doula Services
Effective January 2023, MediCal is COVERING DOULA SERVICES for eligible members.

My Services
Serving Tuolumne, Calaveras, Mariposa & Stanislaus Counties
I provide you and your partner with care, understanding, information and support before and after birth. Our initial meeting will help me tailor my packages to fit your needs. Get in touch to find out more.
Labor & Birth Support
This is about you and what you need!
During your pregnancy, we will discuss the ways in which you would like to be supported, explore any questions or fears you may have, dispel myths, and give clarity to your options through evidence based information. All emotions are welcomed here. As we work together, it is my desire to foster a relationship based on open communication, caring, trust and mutual respect.
In labor, I will be a continuous presence offering physical assistance, evidence based information about your options, and emotional support to both you and your partner. I am here to be a mirror for you so that you can remember your inherent wisdom and power during this transformative time.
I support births in hospital, at home or at a birth center.

Helping you settle into a new way of being!

Full Spectrum Support
Here for You
Reproductive experiences extend beyond just pregnancy and birth. They can include miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, infant loss, adoption and fertility.
My role as a full spectrum birthworker is to provide you with the support, unbiased evidence-based information, care and attention you deserve. It is my goal to offer you a safe and respectful space where all experiences and emotions are greeted with care.
Services are extended to offer informed support for women, men, transgender and non-gender conforming individuals. Full spectrum birthwork is rooted in the reproductive justice movement.
Rates and length of service are determined on a case-by-case basis. Please contact me for more information.
