The calling…

I didn’t set out to become a doula, I’m a lecturer by profession and have a Doctorate in Sociology. But the path opened the moment I witnessed my cousin give birth.

I was there as her birth partner, full of love but completely unprepared. What I saw wasn’t care—it was compliance. Things done to her, not with her. Consent that wasn’t informed. Power handed over because no one told her it could be hers to hold. That moment stayed with me.

At the time, I was already deep into my work as a researcher and sociologist, focused on reproductive and social justice. I understood the systems. The systemic injustice. The patterns. The harm. But when I came to birth my own children, everything I’d studied came alive in a new way. The injustice was no longer theoretical. I heard the same words again and again:

“At least the baby got here safe.”

As if that were the whole story. As if we didn’t matter.

That’s where this work lives for me—in the spaces where people are told not to matter.

I became a doula to offer something different:

Sacred witnessing. Unflinching presence.

Support that meets you exactly where you are—without rushing you to be anywhere else.

My care is full-spectrum, grounded in both research and ritual. I hold space for birth, loss, fertility, identity, and everything in between. I bring calm, thoughtful energy into the room, whether we’re planning your birth, debriefing an experience, or gathering the parts of you that have shifted since.

I believe in holding complexity. In making space for ceremony. In birth as a portal, not just a moment. In your right to feel informed, heard, and held—without apology.

Whoever you are, wherever you are in your journey, you deserve to be supported through your own becoming.

If you wanted to know more about my identity and positionality, I am open to have a conversation about these, additionally I have a written document to share. I am also open to share my own birth experiences, if asked.
