I offer emotional, physical, and advocacy support to people moving through their reproductive experiences as well as to their families. I am training in the Tewa Women United - Yiya Vi Kagingdi Full Spectrum Doula Program. I am currently in the process of meeting my criteria to become a certified doula. I believe that everyone deserves to be nurtured and cared for and I am passionate about providing holistic postpartum care to birthing people and those navigating a loss or termination of pregnancy.
