I am a birth and postpartum doula based in Berkeley with a deep love for flowers, cooking, my faith, laughing with my husband and friends, and caring for women and babies.

With a gentle voice, heart, and hands, I would be honored to walk alongside you through your journey into motherhood. I am prepared to support you through education, mindfulness, advocacy, partner support, and hands-on care.I hold space for you to feel heard, nurtured, informed, and deeply cared for in this tender season.

My softness is  here for you to discover, draw upon, and trust the strength that is already within you. I  am simply here to remind you that it is there.

My practice is informed by multiple streams of knowledge. I value evidence-based and evidence-informed care . I believe there is so much to learn from both the science of birth and the generations of women who have come before us while also honoring and trusting the profound wisdom of your  own body,  your heart, and your baby.

Having been raised in a German-Malawian home, I carry a deep appreciation for the different ways women and motherhood are honored across cultures. Malawi, affectionately known as the "Warm Heart of Africa," has shaped my appreciation for the warmth of community, the tenderness with which mothers are cared for, and the importance of surrounding women with love and support.

These influences shape my approach to birth and postpartum care: the mother is at the center.

I am here to tend to your mind, body, and spirit, while helping you nurture a garden of support with the people you already know and love, whether that be your partner, family, or friends. Just as a garden flourishes with nourishment, patience, and tending, I believe mothers deserve to be surrounded by the same.
