About Me

Hi, I'm Michaela! I experienced my first birth at twelve years old and knew from then on that I wanted to be involved in birth work and babies. After reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth during my first pregnancy, I was introduced to the term "doula" and knew that I wanted to be one. With the birth of my second child and having a doula of my own, I knew that this was truly my calling. I am especially passionate about working with families of color and other marginalized communities who need support during pregnancy and beyond. I believe that everyone should have access to doula support.

On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, martial arts, spending time outdoors, and resting. My goal is to support every family I serve in their birth and postpartum journey with the same passion and dedication that brought me to this work.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in meeting every client exactly where they are. I provide evidence-based education and support, and I believe families should be free to make their own decisions. Client support is never one-size-fits-all, and I approach every family without bias.

Overall, my goal is to walk alongside every family with the same openness and respect, honoring their choices exactly as they are.
