About Me

Hi, I'm Natalie! I am a mother of two sweet boys, married to my best friend, and a doula and childbirth educator serving families in San Diego. Being there for mothers and families during such a transformative moment is truly my calling.

I believe that birth is a rite of passage, not only a physical experience, but an emotional, spiritual, and mental one. It is the transition into becoming a mother, a parent, whether for the first time, the second, or the third. It was this realization, along with my own two births, that inspired me to become a doula and to walk alongside other families through this meaningful season of life.

I enter the labor space with an energy that helps you move through the process feeling empowered, uplifted, supported, and safe. I believe that every family has their own story and their own path, and my goal is to help you prepare your mindset, support you emotionally and physically, and be your advocate through every step of your journey.

Practice Philosophy

I believe every couple has their own history and its own approach. When I meet a new couple, I like to understand where they are coming from and meet them exactly where they are. I love educating families about birth and helping them discover new perspectives they may not have considered before.

I see birth as a deeply spiritual process. Many people feel that if they simply know all the facts, everything will go as planned, but birth is unpredictable, and the baby is part of it, too. I like to help families understand and connect to that truth, giving them tools to cope with whatever unfolds. I also believe that birth is a natural process, and from that understanding, I help parents build confidence in themselves, in their bodies, and in their babies.

Overall, my goal is to help you feel prepared, grounded, and confident as you move through pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood, ready to embrace whatever your unique journey holds.
