Question 2

Where are you located? What is your service area?

Accepted Answer

I am based out of sunny Long Beach, CA (on Tongva/Gabrielino Land) and serve most of Los Angeles and Orange County.

Question 3

Are you certified? What does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Although formal “certification” is fairly new amongst the birthworker community, it is standard practice now and I am indeed a certified birth and postpartum doula, as well as CLES (lactation education specialist). I have completed different “full spectrum” doula trainings with multiple organizations, since each one offers such a different experience; I do not currently offer any fertility related services, however I do have trusted, local recommendations available.

Mentorship, shadowing, providing backup care, hands on training, and culturally relevant support has always been a core component of my personal learning experiences and support practices.

I also uphold a Trauma Informed Care Certification, a Domestic Violence Advocate Certification (2x recipent, 1x facilitator), & SART cert.
