Currently taking a limited number of birth clients
I believe that birth is a powerful and phenomenal experience-meant to test our inner strength and resilience.
my work
As a doula, I am honored to witness the profound transformation that happens when someone discovers their own strength, resilience, and inner wisdom throughout the birth journey. I find deep purpose in supporting families through the uncertainty, intensity, and beauty of birth—helping them navigate each transition with confidence, trust, and compassion.
My role as your doula is to create a safe, supportive, and protected space where you feel empowered to listen to your body, trust your instincts, and move through birth with confidence. I support the emotional, physical, and informational needs of your family so that your heart, mind, and body have the opportunity to experience birth in a way that feels safe, respected, and deeply supported.
“Simply put, she just knows. She knows what you need, she knows what to say, she knows when you need more support, she knows when you’ve got it. Izzy is an advocate and coach. Izzy was my go-to during my baby’s birth because her presence made me feel safe and she was right there the whole time, holding my hand.”

I understand that every family is unique and help you figure out what the best path is for you, offering personalized care and attention throughout your birth experience
Throughout pregnancy, I provide personalized physical, emotional, and educational support for you and your family. Together, we'll prepare for birth by exploring your preferences, answering your questions, and helping you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
During labor and birth, I offer continuous support, facilitate clear communication with your healthcare team, and provide reassurance, perspective, and evidence-based information so you can make decisions that align with your values and goals. My support may include guidance on pregnancy-specific movement and exercises, comfort measures for common pregnancy discomforts, labor positioning, relaxation techniques, massage, optimal fetal positioning, and other complementary, integrative approaches that support physiological birth and overall well-being.
A Blend of Modern Medicine & Holistic Wisdom
What makes my approach unique is my commitment to integrating the best of both evidence-based medicine and traditional wisdom. Whether we're discussing medical pain management options, labor induction, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, herbal support, or nourishing practices for the fourth trimester, my goal is to help you understand your choices—not to tell you which path to take.
As a Registered Nurse, certified birth and postpartum doula, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Midwifery student, Ayurvedic Health Counselor, herbalist, and yoga instructor, I bring a perspective that bridges both the clinical and holistic worlds. I believe families deserve care that is scientifically grounded, deeply compassionate, and tailored to their individual needs. My role is to help you feel informed, supported, and empowered to make the decisions that are right for you and your growing family.
As a doula my physical presence is calm, quiet, collected, and steady.
Here is some of what my clients have had to say about my support-
"Izzy was the calm, grounding presence we needed. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, allowing us to stay focused on welcoming our baby."
"I truly cannot imagine giving birth without her. She made me feel safe, informed, and completely supported through every decision."
"She knew exactly when to offer encouragement, when to advocate, and when to simply be present. Her support gave me confidence in my own body and my birth."
"Because of Izzy, my partner felt supported too. We both felt prepared, empowered, and able to experience our birth together rather than just get through it."
"I truly believe I was able to have a labor I was proud of because Izzy was by my side... she, too, witnessed my body's greatness and reminded me that all the complex things I was holding were natural and O.K."
"Her support and communication before, during, and after birth gave me tremendous confidence and peace of mind in my body's own process."
"She took the anxiety away, and I was so calm through my labor... Izzy was also very supportive to my partner and his experience was just as loving and memorable as mine."
"Izzy helped me tap into my inner self and remember my strength as a woman. She provided gentle care, guidance, a wealth of knowledge and her presence was really unmatched."
"We tell everyone we couldn't have done it without her!"
"Because of Izzy, the unexpected became a journey that I am able to now look back on with incredible pride and gratitude."
"Izzy served as an unwavering support system for both my partner and I throughout our entire birth process... she kept calm and made us feel safe even when things were taking a dramatic turn."
