FAQs

Where are you located?
I live in West San Jose, near Cupertino. I am comfortable traveling up to ~5 miles to you.
What is your background?
I grew up in the Sacramento Valley and enjoyed helping loved ones through other kinds of challenges before I was drawn to birth. I completed formal doula training through DONA International last spring. After that, I shadowed a licensed midwife for about nine months, assisting many checkups and a handful of home births.
I am a Catholic Christian.
What would you charge?
No more than $400.
What does that fee include?
  • Two home visits before your due date, where we will get to know each other and make a plan for me to support you in labor.
  • With you from early labor through the first "golden hour" with baby.
  • Another home visit postpartum, to talk about the birth and make sure everyone is doing well.
