photographer, doula, poet, earth tender, herbalist, devotee of the mother

My greatest gift in this life is to be a witness, to stand with radical awe at the magic all around me. Through witnessing, I remember reciprocity.       

I am brought to my knees in gratitude for all of the ways that the divine mother provides for us. In return, I offer my hands and heart in loving service to women, mothers, and all of earth’s creations.

I consider myself a traditional doula. To me, that means that I serve women in my community authentically because I love and care for them, not because I have a certificate that tells me how to be a doula. 

“Just as birth is a rite of passage, so is caring for women in their birth spaces.”

I believe that birth photography and videography are changing the cultural paradigm around birth. I believe that undisturbed physiological birth is one of the most magical and powerful forces on earth. I also recognize the sacred gift of medical intervention when needed and consented to. Mostly, I believe in mothers and their intuitive knowing.
