Full-Spectrum Doula Care
My philosophy as a certified birth worker and abortion support doula is centered around the belief that all bodies and minds are different, have value, and deserve respect.
I believe people have the ability to make healthy decisions for themselves and that judgement-free support can help ease the process.
I provide compassionate, emotional, physical, and informational support across the spectrum of reproductive experiences. My services are trauma-informed, confidential, and queer and trans-affirming + centered.
My services are available on a sliding scale, and to all people regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, incarceration, disabilities, or substance use. I believe that everybody deserves access to unconditional support and care.

Sliding Scale Rates
I use the model of a sliding scale so that people with a range of financial access can receive these services + goods. If you are able to pay at the top of the scale, it creates more opportunities to provide free or low-cost services + goods to those in need. If you are struggling to make ends meet, receive government benefits or any kind of assistance, are QTBIPOC, or are disabled, please contact me about my low-income / sliding scale rates.
