Hi, I’m carly,
I am a queer, full-spectrum doula, educator, and intuitive caregiver. I am also a parent, an aunt, a sister, and partner. I love people, hugs, laughter, and tears, and I build relationships in an expansive, genuine, and lasting way.
Having been a witness and a support for my sister during the births of her three children, and in birthing my own child, I hold firmly to the belief that (should we want it) we all deserve love, trust, support, and community. I am dedicated to the life-long journey of growing, learning, and teaching in ways that will lift and support BIPOC, queer/trans, and historically under-supported communities.
AS A DOULA
Certifications & Training
My approach to birth work is inclusive, and centers around the belief that all humans deserve to feel safe, seen, heard, and empowered. As a nurturing witness, I offer a companionship built on mutual respect, compassion, and trust. I will listen attentively, and honor your reproductive journey and family building goals. I will advocate for you and your family/support person. Together we will lift your voice and hold space for your choices.
In addition to my own experience, my awareness of the disparities and inequities in our medical system played a large role in the decision to begin my journey in social and reproductive justice. My dedication to connection through lived experience and trauma-informed care provides a family/person-centered approach to my work (and our relationship). My focus, always, is to provide affirming, accessible, and equitable care to my community and beyond.
