I am an enthusiastic and dedicated Doula originally from New York. I have a passion for supporting and encouraging others, especially parents and children.
For two decades I’ve successfully supported and motivated a myriad of families in and outside of the NYC school district; providing life enhancing resources and tools to promote Healthier-Happier-Smarter Children. I enjoyed serving as a point person who launched and executed parent engagement workshops on the “Basics”; an initiative with the purpose of supporting families with children birth to two years old, (Stemmed from Dr. Ron Ferguson creator of the Boston Basics). Additionally, I am very grateful to have served as a vital link to pregnant women and their families via, The Birthing Project-“Sister Friend”; we provided emotional/physical support, direction, encouragement, advocacy and friendship necessary to have a successful pregnancy and birth outcome. I’m am happily now a resident of Austin and excited to have the opportunity to empower and serve the families of Austin by providing divine postpartum care to the awesome Austin community and neighboring communities!
