Hi there!
I’m Amelia.

(She/Her)

One final push with every ounce of maternal oomph and suddenly they’re earthside, letting out a blissfully loud newborn squall. You pull them up and into your arms and lean back to gaze up at your partner who grinning down at you with misty eyes afresh with reverence. In this deeply intimate, life-altering moment, time stands still and the room fills with an indescribable mix of sheer joy, overwhelming love, and unadulterated awe.

In the sacred human space between womb and world, our greatest craving is for community. But in many ways, our modern culture has shifted away from the collective care that once surrounded the perinatal year. In our fast-paced, individualistic society, our focus often falls on personal achievements and self-reliance, leaving little room for the collective support and connection that is vital during the deep vulnerability of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

That craving for community as we become parents brings me to this space with a profound sense of purpose. Moving forward to fill in the gaps left by our modern culture by fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for all parents.

  • Personally

    • Our daughter Esme has brought the greatest joy since the day she arrived. She is our rainbow baby after 6 losses, so our hearts or incredibly full having her in our family.

    • I am a native Oregonian but have spent much of the last decade in the Midwest and in the San Francisco Bay Area.

    • Science is my BFF. Modern advancements in maternal health research and improving outcomes are a primary focus of my work.

    • I am fully vaccinated.

  • Professionally

    • I received my birth & postpartum doula certification and optimal fetal positioning training through Cornerstone Birthwork in San Francisco, CA.

    • I led a professional perinatal community for a 1.5 years at a cord blood bank based in California .

    • I have a certificate in community management through Commsor.

    • I have been a professional photographer for over a decade, but exclusively do documentary birth and family work and personal projects these days.
