FAQs

What services do you offer?

I am a full-spectrum reproductive health and death doula, offering compassionate emotional and practical support, advocacy, and education through birth, abortion, pregnancy and infant loss, postpartum, death and dying, and sudden or unexpected loss.

I am also a photographer who specializes in documenting individuals and families through major life transitions and intimate moments, including pregnancy, birth, postpartum, birthdays, weddings, and other meaningful gatherings.

As a brand photographer, I create authentic, humanizing imagery that reflects the heart of your work and represents your brand with intention and honesty.

What areas do you serve?

Can I donate to people who need this care?

For birth & postpartum doula care and family photography I serve Chittenden County and up to 1 hour outside of it. For abortion, miscarriage, loss and end of life doula care, I am able to provide virtual services anywhere in the world.

I have two photography studios (I also see doula clients at these locations) — The Soda Plant in Downtown Burlington, VT; Suite 21A (appointments available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends) & The Village Collective in downtown Richmond, VT (appointments available on Wednesdays only).

For private events, commercial and editorial photography work, I am available for travel worldwide.

What makes you different?

I’m not an expert, and I would never claim to be. I’m a witness, advocate, and lifelong student who has had the privilege of walking alongside more than 400 people through birth, loss, death, and other significant life transitions over nearly two decades of professional work.

I trust that each person is the authority on their own body, mind, and life. My role is to listen, make space, and support my clients in trusting their own wisdom.

I’m a white-passing, mixed-race, multicultural daughter of a Deaf immigrant, and I’m bilingual. In Vermont, these identities are some of my superpowers. I bring a lens shaped by culture, race, language, disability, and belonging, and I’m attuned to the power dynamics that can emerge when people are most vulnerable.

I don’t take my white-passing privilege for granted. I use it intentionally to advocate for my clients’ needs, autonomy, and dignity.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: you are the authority on your own life.

I trained through Doula Trainings International (DTI). There is no legal requirement for doulas to be certified, and the cost of certification can be a significant barrier, particularly for doulas from marginalized communities.

As an act of solidarity, I have chosen not to pursue certification. I don’t believe a credential makes someone a better doula. Lived experience, cultural traditions, and the wisdom passed through families and communities are forms of expertise that I deeply value.

For me, doula work is less about credentials and more about how we show up—with humility, curiosity, presence, and respect. There are many ways of knowing, and I believe all of them deserve space.

In most cases, doula services are not covered by insurance. However, I am happy to provide receipts or documentation if your plan allows for reimbursement. Vermont families with Blue Cross Blue Shield may also be eligible for postpartum support reimbursement through the Better Beginnings “Help at Home” program.

What do you stand for?

Me and my practice are LGBTQIA+ friendly, Trans affirming, anti racist, pro choice and inclusive to all bodies, births and family structures.

Do you have a sliding scale?

I offer sliding scale rates for BIPGM, LGBTQIA+ and disabled folks when able. When you book me at my full rate, you are helping to subsidize the cost of services to marginalized folks.
