ADVOCATING FOR BAY AREA
WOMEN & THEIR BABIES
“Every birth is a natural birth: each of us is part of nature, not separate from it, and nature is always stunning in its variety. Your birth, then, is part of the natural world, however it unfolds.”
— Lauralyn Curtis
As a birth doula and photographer, I feel incredibly honored to be invited into a mama's birth space. It's a bit like walking on holy ground.
My practice is based in the deep-seated belief that birth is natural and normal–a life-changing journey through which you should feel empowered and unconditionally supported. I believe that you should feel both comfortable and respected as you bring your baby earth side.
