I came to this work the same way many women do — through becoming a mother myself.

Not because I was searching for a role, but because motherhood rearranged me. It asked me to slow down, listen differently, and learn how to tend rather than push. Through birth, postpartum, and the long arc of raising children, I began to understand how much support actually matters — not just information, but presence that knows when to step forward and when to step back.

My work as a doula grew from that place.

I support families through birth and early motherhood with a grounded, intuitive approach rooted in attunement. I pay close attention — to bodies, to rhythms, to what’s being said and what isn’t. I believe confidence grows when someone feels seen, listened to, and trusted in their own knowing.

I don’t arrive with a script.
I arrive with experience, steadiness, and respect for the intelligence already present in you.

How I’ve Been Shaped

I grew up in Bend, Oregon, with a deep connection to the natural world — seasons, cycles, and the quiet intelligence of tending what’s alive. That relationship with nature continues to shape how I understand birth, healing, and family life.

After the birth of my first son, I felt called toward doula work as a way of supporting families through meaningful transitions. As I welcomed my second child, I stepped back from professional practice to focus on my own family, allowing my understanding of motherhood to deepen through lived experience.

During that time, I expanded my skill set through herbalism, regenerative agriculture, biodynamics, and babywearing education. Each of these practices offered a lens on care as something relational, rhythmic, and responsive — affirming my belief that care doesn’t need to be loud and complicated to be powerful.

As my children grew, I returned to doula work with renewed clarity and steadiness. I retrained in birth and postpartum support with MotherTree Birth in Portland, Oregon, became DONA certified, and trained as an Oregon Health Authority Traditional Health Worker.

How I Work

What matters most to me is creating an environment of support and safety, where families can trust their own instincts and inner knowing.

Sometimes that looks like practical guidance, physical support or advocacy.
Sometimes it looks like nourishment, rest, or quiet companionship.
Often, it looks like simply being there — steady, calm, and responsive.

My role is not to manage your experience, but to help you stay oriented to what’s true for you as you move through it.

A Note on Nurture

Nurture exists for families who are looking for something quieter than advice culture — support that feels relational, grounded, and deeply attuned.

I’m honored to walk alongside families during some of the most tender moments of their lives, and I approach this work with humility, care, and deep respect for the thresholds it holds.
