The Dedicated Doula Team
My friends, partners & collaborators
Birth-work isn’t just my career - it’s my life.
Providing on-call support to families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and nearly 365 days a year isn’t sustainable as an individual. Unpredictable schedules, long hours away from home, rescheduled appointments and missed events are the reality of this work.
The average doula career lasts just three to five years, mostly due to stress and burnout. In order to be at my best for my clients, while also being my best for my family, I knew I needed to change how I approached the work from the beginning.
In 2021 I co-founded The Dedicated Doula Team and I am so, so grateful for these humans!
This stellar group of women provide friendship, support, collaboration, and the community I need to be able to do this work and support new families.

Suzanne
Suzanne and I are like two peas in a pod - we joke that we share a brain because our approach is so similar. As a doula-tog (doula + photographer) she has supported almost 300 families!
In 2023, Suzanne and I started sharing our client load in order to better support our clients while also maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
