Pregnancy, birth planning, and early parenting support
You deserve support that helps you feel informed, prepared, and confident – not overwhelmed.
Preconception, pregnancy, and early parenting can come with a lot of information, and not always enough clarity.
I’m here to help you understand your options, think through your decisions, and feel more supported in the choices you’re making for yourself and your family.
I support families in navigating healthcare and community systems, including connecting you to trusted services, resources, and referrals when additional support is needed.

We’re in this together!
My approach is shaped by academic training in early childhood education, professional experience supporting families and lived experiences with pregnancy and parenting.
My work is informed by research, including my Master’s research and contributions to The Black Birth Project, which focus on improving outcomes and care experiences fo Black families.
While I support all families, I have a specialized focus on the experiences and needs of Black families, and work to ensure care feels relevant, informed, and grounded in real-world context.
