Born to Doula

I genuinely believe my entire life has prepared me to be the doula I am today.

From an early age, I felt motherly—like I could take care of the entire world. All I ever wanted to do was nurture and protect, especially smaller children. Even as a teenager, I was the friend who made sure everyone stayed safe. I loved my early childhood, blissfully unaware that I was a sheltered child. It felt like the world revolved around me. I lived with my grandmother, and in her home, I always felt nurtured, protected, and loved.

That sense of safety was a gift. And because I knew what it felt like to be secure, I began offering that same comfort to others—especially when I saw they didn’t have it. That instinct to protect, nurture, and create safe spaces has carried through my life and become a core part of who I am.

I also discovered something important about myself: I was able to care for others without losing myself in the process. That balance—managing my own life while holding space for others—is a skill not often talked about, but one that is essential as a doula. There’s so much more to this work than showing up at a birth. It takes deep compassion, emotional strength, and a genuine desire to educate and empower.

Since childhood, I’ve been obsessed with learning. I’ve always loved books. Anytime someone told me something, I’d immediately find a book to support—or challenge—it. I didn’t just read to read—I read to understand, and I lived to apply that knowledge through real-life experience. I wanted to feel what I learned.

For a while, I thought I’d become a brain surgeon. My mom was an OR Tech and we loved watching medical documentaries together. I was fascinated by the human mind and thought I could help people live better by understanding it. I joined a Medical Specialty program in high school and stayed in it for two years. But I realized my passion was less about surgery and more about saving the world through conversation. I’m a solutions-based person, and I needed to work in a way that allowed me to connect deeply with others.

Though I didn’t complete the medical program, I stayed committed to my foreign language studies—especially Latin, which felt like a key that unlocked so much of the world. That early love for language, curiosity, and healing stayed with me and grew into the work I now do.

Today, I’m proud to have built a platform that reflects everything I’ve always been—honest, nurturing, curious, loving, and rooted in service. Understanding the foundation of who I’ve always been, has helped me fully embrace the doula I was born to be. Every day, I wake up excited, knowing someone out there is waiting for what I must give. And that makes all the difference.
