ABOUT ME
Chicago-based midwife, fertility specialist, and community-builder.
I am a Certified Professional Midwife in Illinois since 2026 but began my career as a doula in 2018. Since my start I have attended over 200 births as a doula, student, and primary midwife. I started offering fertility support because of my passion for family building, love for my queer commuity, and my own experience trying to get pregnant.
I want my practice to be a community resource, which is why I co-host community gatherings, classes, and group sessions. I believe in healthy-at-any-size. I provide evidence based information, grounded energy, and listening ear.
Racism, homophobia, transphobia and fat-phobia (and lots more) are still baked into our healthcare systems. I work to address bias and obstetric violence in the medical industrial complex through my work as a doula and educator.
It’s an honor to walk with my clients as they find their voice in their healthcare journey.
I am vaccinated against COVID-19 (all the basic stuff too) and believe in community responsibility.
When I’m not hanging out with awesome pregnant folks, you can find me playing roller derby with the Windy City Rollers. I also love riding my bike, fiber arts, and gardening! My fascination with the healing power of herbs and plants grows stronger every day.
