Our practice believes birth is not just a beginning—it's a transformation. My journey into motherhood lit a flame in me to walk alongside birthing people with compassion, knowledge, and unwavering support. As a trauma-informed doula, I hold space for every story and every body, honoring the unique path each family takes.
Whether you're birthing your first child or your fifth, I'm here to help you feel seen, safe, and powerful through every contraction, breath, and beginning.
Hi, I’m M (she/her).
The heart behind The Phoenix Doula.
This path found me after the birth of my son, Asher—the most powerful, humbling, and transformative experience of my life. Becoming his mom reignited my purpose and taught me firsthand the beauty, strength, and vulnerability that birth holds. It’s what led me to hold space for others through this sacred transition.
Outside of birthwork, I’m usually chasing joy in the everyday: walking trails with my partner Morgan (he/they), laughing at my two goofy dogs, Meeka and Jax, and soaking in the little moments of stillness and sunlight. I’m a nature girl at heart with a soft spot for wildflowers, rivers, and that golden hour glow. If we’re ever on a walk together, don’t be surprised if I try to guess your zodiac sign—I probably will.
I’m also fiercely committed to equity and justice. I believe birthwork is activism. As a queer person and an ally, I center inclusive, affirming care. Black Lives Matter. Reproductive justice matters. Every birthing person deserves dignity, safety, and joy—no exceptions.
Whether you’re preparing to give birth, navigating postpartum, or just looking for someone to walk with you on this journey, I’m here. With warmth, without judgment, and with deep reverence for your story.
Why Hire a Doula?
Because everyone deserves care that honors their whole story—and their whole self.
I’m a white, queer, trauma-informed doula. I came to this work through my own birth experience—becoming a mother to my son, Asher, was one of the most transformative moments of my life. That transformation stirred something in me, and since then, I’ve been committed to showing up for birthing people in a way that centers safety, autonomy, and dignity.
But I don’t believe support is one-size-fits-all.
I recognize that I move through this work with privilege—and that the systems surrounding birth have not, and still do not, serve all people equitably. Black and Brown birthing people face disproportionate risks in pregnancy and childbirth. LGBTQ+ and trans parents often experience care that is invalidating or unsafe. Survivors of trauma frequently encounter providers who are not trained to support them through it.
As a doula, I am not here to save anyone. I am here to listen, to learn, and to hold space for your experience, not impose my own.
Hiring a doula means you have someone who:
Supports your decisions without judgment
Helps you advocate for what you want and need
Understands trauma and how it may shape your experience
Creates a space where your identity is affirmed—not questioned
Respects the power and wisdom you already hold
My practice is grounded in a commitment to reproductive justice, birth equity, and community care. I’m continuously learning from BIPOC leaders, queer birthworkers, and families who have trusted me to walk alongside them. I aim to create spaces where you feel supported, not silenced—where you are seen in your fullness, not asked to shrink.
Your birth is yours. You deserve to move through it with support, with power, and with people who believe in your right to be heard.
And if it feels right, I’d be honored to be one of those people.
