Meet Your Compassionate Birth Doula
Welcome to Colibri Birth Services!
As a certified birth doula with Center for Indigenous Midwifery serving Tacoma and Puyallup families, my heart lies in supporting families through one of life’s most transformative experiences: bringing new life into the world. Whether you are planning a home birth, hospital delivery, or birthing center experience, I’m here to empower you with knowledge, hold space for your emotions, and advocate for your birthing vision.
My Philosophy
I believe birth is a sacred, intuitive process - and every parent deserves to feel respected, heard, and supported. My approach blends evidence-based practices, holistic comfort measures and trauma informed care with a deep trust in your body’s wisdom. Together we will create a birth plan that honors your unique needs, whether you are aiming for an unmedicated birth, navigating induction or preparing for the unexpected.
Why I Do This Work
My first pregnancy I was very adamant about having an unmedicated birth at my local birthing center. I went in uninformed and unprepared. After a long 24 hour birth it ended in a c-section. I struggled with adjusting to postpartum and felt robbed from a positive birthing experience. With my second pregnancy I looked for a Doula that I felt comfortable with and unfortunately did not match with anyone. I took birthing classes and informed myself as much as possible. After advocating for myself and being able to avoid a repeat c-section. I was able to have and experience a natural birth with my little girl.
I knew I was called to walk alongside families during this profound chapter. My greatest joy? Witnessing parents’ step into their strength and meet their baby with confidence.
