reneI am the mother of two beautiful boys and was blessed with magical home births for both my sons. Now I am called to accompany other women who are on the journey to becoming a mother through this special time. To my joy I have served many families through out the Bay Area.

It is my deep desire to empower, inspire, support and hold sacred space for families during this important, life-changing event. I consider myself a wholistic practitioner and Doula offering support and sisterly care. I respect every individual while helping couples through this transformation into birthing themselves as parents.

As a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, I am dedicated to educating my self to best be able to serve families. I am also certified as a massage therapist and have studied Midwifery. I strive to expand my knowledge about pregnancy, birth and develop my understanding of the body in order to support women to feel empowered and comfortable in their bodies.

I am a Lactation Specialist and I am fascinated by the simple yet complex relationship between baby, mother and breastfeeding. I offer support to help establish a pain free beginning to a very enjoyable experience of breastfeeding.

It is my wish to help you find this deep place of connection  within your self. Through physical support, listening, encouragement, and providing you with information, I will support you in carrying the trust in (and understanding of) your body throughout your labor, birth and postpartum experience.
