Proudly serving my community in Nelson, BC, the West Kootenays, and beyond.

Inclusive care is at the heart of my work - meeting every family with respect, empathy, and open-hearted support.

I acknowledge with gratitude that my work of supporting birth and families takes place on the traditional territory of the Sinixt, Syilx, and Ktunaxa Peoples, and on land shared with Inuit and Métis communities. I honour the enduring relationship between land, community, and new life.

I am proud to serve Indigenous families living in BC as an approved provider under BC’s Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program
