What I offer
book a consultation
Every birth is unique, but one truth remains the same: you are the expert on your body, your baby, and your birth. My role as your doula is not to hand you the answers but to walk beside you as you discover your own path.
As a VBAC mama myself and a VBAC certified doula, I know firsthand the courage it takes to trust your body and your instincts. Preparation for birth goes deeper than checklists. It begins with cultivating self-trust, tuning into your body, your instincts, and your inner wisdom. Together we reflect on past experiences, release fears, and gather knowledge that supports confident choices. I also guide your partner to feel empowered in their role, while reminding you to trust your intuition when navigating options or unexpected changes.
When labor begins, I bring calm presence and steady support. I offer hands-on comfort, emotional reassurance, and quiet strength. With camera in hand, I respectfully document your story, capturing the raw and tender moments as they unfold. My care adapts to what you need most, whether it’s a hand to hold, encouragement to move, or space held in stillness.
After birth, I return with nourishing support, whether that looks like a warm meal, caring for baby so you can rest, or simply sitting with you as you process your story. My hope is that every mother I support leaves her birth not only with powerful memories, but with the deep knowing that she was seen, heard, and held.
No matter how your birth unfolds, you deserve to feel safe, empowered, and celebrated. It is my honor to walk beside you in this sacred season.
You're not just looking for support. You're looking to be held, seen, and remembered.
I’m not a doula who leaves her camera at home—and I’m not a photographer who stands quietly in the corner. I’m both. Seamlessly. Intentionally. Always.
My presence is rooted in reverence for birth as a sacred rite of passage—one that deserves not only nurturing care, but also timeless documentation. If you’re craving birth support that feels as intuitive and grounding as it is artistic and soul-filled, you may have found your match.
We may be aligned if…
- You believe birth is sacred, powerful, and transformative—and you want to honor it fully.
- You’re preparing for birth with intention: reading, taking classes, doing the inner work to release fear and build trust.
- You’re drawn to low-intervention options and evidence-based care.
- You’re open to building deep trust in yourself, your body, and your baby.
- You find grounding in nature and perhaps feel called to connect with God, Spirit, or something bigger as you prepare.
- You love small rituals—tea, prayer, journaling, meditation—and want someone who honors the sacred in the everyday.
- You’re nourishing your body, planning for postpartum, and tending to your emotional well-being just as much as your physical.
- You value community and long for connection as you step into motherhood.
- You want your birth story captured honestly and artfully—without intrusion, without pose, and without missing a single sacred detail.
If this feels like a soft yes in your body... I’d be honored to walk beside you.
We Might Be a Beautiful Fit If…
the doula experience includes:
step one:
connection
Once you reach out, I’ll send over a short questionnaire. This helps us both tune into alignment—your birth vision, values, and what kind of support you’re seeking. If it feels like a match, we’ll schedule a phone or virtual call to connect more deeply. I’m also happy to offer a complimentary in-person consultation for local families who prefer to meet face-to-face.
step two:
in-person prepartion
We’ll meet in person to begin building trust and laying the foundation for your care. This includes going over your birth preferences, exploring comfort techniques, and preparing your postpartum space. If you have a partner or birth team, they’re welcome too—so I can gently integrate into your circle of support.
step three:
on call birth support
Throughout your pregnancy, I’m available by phone for support, reassurance, and connection—whenever you need it. Beginning at 38 weeks, I’ll be on-call for your birth—ready to join when you feel it’s time. I offer intuitive, hands-on doula care while respectfully documenting your birth story. Whether your birth is fast and fiery or slow and sacred, I move in rhythm with your needs, always holding space for you to feel safe, seen, and supported.
step four:
postpartum follow-up
After baby arrives, I return with loving, practical support. This might include a nourishing meal, a warm debrief of your birth story, holding baby while you shower, or simply caring for you as you settle into this new chapter. You’ll also receive your birth images—delivered with the same care and reverence your story deserves.

I now accept Medicaid. All Medicaid families receive the same full-spectrum doula support, including prenatal visits, continuous labor care, and postpartum follow-up.
As part of this care, you will also receive complimentary birth photography. Medicaid clients receive a smaller selection of hand-edited images rather than a full gallery, with the option to upgrade if desired.
Because there are different types of Medicaid plans in Michigan, I am credentialed to accept some, but not all. Please inquire to confirm whether I am able to accept your specific plan.

"Each photo captured genuine emotions and unique moments, showcasing her ability to tell a story through her lens.
She was not only skilled but also incredibly personable, making me feel at ease throughout the shoot. She took the time to understand my vision and offered creative suggestions that enhanced the final result. The quality of the images was outstanding—crisp, beautifully composed, and perfectly edited.
