Below you will find a list of services and offerings. Not local to the SoCal area? No problem. We can do almost everything virtually.
For the mother tuning into her own wisdom—because you don’t have to walk it alone.
A sacred, judgment-free space to bring anything on your heart—pregnancy concerns, birth preparation, breastfeeding questions, postpartum planning, baby-led weaning, story-telling, and more. Together, we explore your options, your instincts, and what God is speaking into your journey. These sessions are designed to offer clarity, confidence, and peace as you prepare for motherhood in mind, body, and spirit.
A monitrice is a unique bridge between traditional doula support and more hands-on pregnancy guidance. She walks closely with mothers who desire deeper awareness of their bodies, their babies, and their unfolding birth journey—while still honoring the mother as the ultimate authority in her care.
A monitrice offers presence, experience, and informed guidance for women who want to be more engaged, attentive, and equipped throughout pregnancy and birth. She supports mothers who crave both emotional grounding and practical insight as they move toward birth in their own power.
This option is often chosen by women who want an added layer of support, someone who can walk beside them with a watchful, knowledgeable, and compassionate eye without stepping into medical care or decision-making.
Supporting planned home & birth center births
Birth is not just a physical event—it’s a rite of passage. My role is to walk alongside you through this threshold with deep respect for your intuition, your power, and your unique vision for birth.
As your doula, I offer continuous emotional, physical, educational, and spiritual support throughout pregnancy and birth. I do not take over, direct, or lead—I witness, hold space, and remind you that you already know the way.
Whether you're preparing for your first birth or your fifth, I support you in staying connected to your body, your baby, and your voice. I’m here to help you navigate your options, build confidence in your choices, and prepare your mind, body, and spirit for the journey ahead.
Honoring the life-giving organ God designed to nourish your baby
Your placenta carries the imprint of God’s faithfulness throughout pregnancy — a living testimony of protection, nourishment, and connection. Creating keepsakes from your placenta is a beautiful way to honor that story and preserve the sacred work your body has done.
Each piece is created prayerfully and intentionally, using high-quality watercolor paper and professional pigments. Whether you prefer a simple blood print or a fully custom art piece, your placenta is handled with reverence from beginning to end.
