Our Additional Doulas! 

While we have our core group of doulas, we also work alongside doulas who are not able to make all of our CNY Doula Connection events, due to other obligations and/or distance. 

We would love for you to meet these lovely ladies!

Life is filled with endless cycles of endings and beginnings that provide opportunities for awakening. I believe that pregnancy is one of them. Pregnancy is amazing, creative and magical, and my intention as a doula is to help celebrate this cycle and honor the sacred nature of this time. 

My journey as a doula has been cyclical. It started at a time when I was experiencing major shifts in my life that led me to take a yoga teacher training, which is where I learned about the role of a doula. Since then I have worked at the intersection of reproductive justice, social justice and environmental justice. Becoming a doula has been part of my personal journey, first learning to advocate for myself mentally, physically and spiritually, and then advocating for others.

I am a certified labor and postpartum doula through Doula Trainings International and a Hynobabies Hypno-Doula. I am also a 500-hour registered yoga teacher and teach prenatal yoga in Central New York. I am a doula who is passionate about advocating for and empowering those giving birth and their families no matter their race, class, religion, traditions, gender identity and sexual orientation. 

My husband and I live in Auburn with our dog Zoey, a blue heeler rescue we found during our time in Colorado. I love traveling, camping and spending time with my family after being away for a number of years.
