My pronouns are they/them.

my focus & philosophy

I’m a full-spectrum doula and documentary photographer, walking with people through thresholds of birth, postpartum, fertility, loss, and transformation. My practice is grounded in harm reduction, body literacy, and the belief that care should be collaborative, non-judgmental, and responsive to each person’s unique needs.

Whether I’m holding a baby so a parent can rest, preparing a meal, tidying up, listening to a birth story, or documenting a season of life, my goal is to create space — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — so you can feel supported and resourced.

my values

  • trusting your intuition

    I’m not here to tell you what to do. Your intuition is a powerful, essential force that deserves to be listened to.

    I’m here to protect your trust in your instincts by supporting you without taking over and sharing info without pushing an agenda.

  • scientific evidence

    There is so much information out there and it’s hard to know what’s actually true. That’s where I come in; I love research!

    If you have questions, I’ll help you find answers. And I’ll help you find them from people who actually know what they’re talking about! 

  • grace over guilt

    We’re all going to make mistakes. That’s what humans do. That’s the only way we can grow!

    Most of these mistakes really aren’t a big deal and don’t say anything about us as people. I think it’s ok to be wrong, it’s ok to not know, and it’s ok to look a little bit foolish.

my background & experience

I work at the intersection of healthcare and art, and my perspective has been shaped by years of supporting diverse families in various capacities, including co-parents & blended families, queer and trans parents, survivors of trauma, neurodivergent folks, and those navigating complex medical systems.

Alongside my doula work, I bring a documentary eye to photography, capturing authentic, unposed moments that honour identity & memory.

  • I spent my undergrad focusing on identity, meaning-making and authentic representation. Some of my classes included:

    • Documentary Media

    • Memoirs, Memories & Disclosure

    • Media, Representation & Identity

    • Sexuality & The Media

    • Journalism Principles and Practices (top of class!)

    • Race, Ethnicity & Technology

    • International Children’s Literature

    • Foundation of Visual Arts

  • I completed my full-spectrum doula training through Doula School Canada and am currently working on my certifications.

    Birth Doula: These doulas provide emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and immediately after birth. They help you feel grounded, informed, and cared for in whatever birth setting you choose.

    • Classes and readings complete

    • Currently completing support hours to qualify for the exam

    Postpartum Doula: These doulas support families in the weeks and months after birth. They offer baby care, parent care, household support, and evidence-based information to make the transition smoother.

    • Classes, readings and support hours complete

    • Currently waiting for the exam

    You can support my certification journey by filling out this evaluation form and you can email info@doulatraining.ca if you have any questions or concerns about my training.

  • A lactation educator provides evidence-based, judgment-free information on feeding — whether breast, chest, bottle, pumping, or combination — to help families make informed choices and feel supported in their feeding journey.

    • Currently doing classes, coursework and support hours

    You can reach out to info@birthingadvocacy.org if you have any questions or concerns about my lactation education.

  • A fertility doula walks alongside individuals and families during the preconception journey and through the first trimester. They offer emotional support, education, and resources for a range of paths to conception.

    • Classes completed

    • Readings and assignments in progress

    • Accepting fertility clients starting Fall 2026

    You can email info@doulatraining.ca if you have any questions or concerns about my fertility doula training.

  • I also have my Emergency First Aid & CPR/AED level C through the Canadian Red Cross (this covers infants), my food handler’s certificate through Food Safety Training, and multiple trainings in Infection Prevention & Control (IPAC) through Ontario Public Health.

    I’m always happy to provide my clients with a current background check. Just let me know if you’d like a copy for your records!

think we’d
make a good fit?

I’d love to help you explore the type of support that would be most helpful for you, whether we end up working together or not. This practice is more than a business to me; it’s about showing up and caring for people in ways that ripple outward.
