About
I've been supporting families throughout the childbearing year for over a decade, both in and out of a hospital setting. My experience spans clients from diverse backgrounds, including single parents, incarcerated pregnant women, individuals with previous trauma, and teen mothers. I provide physical and emotional support as well as evidence-based education to women and birthing people in all phases of their reproductive cycle. My birth work journey has led me to practicing midwifery outside of the hospital setting. I am currently completing my residency at Mind Body Birth in downtown Los Angeles.

“Somewhere, in some forgotten and unnoticed corner of the world,
just as we read these words, there are other babies being born in hospitals, in alleys, in ghettos, and refugee camps, who are
destined by circumstance and calling, by determination and courage, to be sojourners of truth; to dream dreams and to see visions. To change history. We must listen out for them.”
-Ina Hughs on the life of Sojourner Truth, from ‘A Prayer for Children’
