About Gem of the Valley Doula Services

Bio

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As a mother of three daughters, my journey into doula work began during my first pregnancy in 2017. With each unique birth experience, my passion for supporting mothers grew. These experiences sparked my desire to offer compassionate, personalized support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester. The journey of becoming a mother further inspired me to embrace the role of "mothering the mother." It's an honor to walk alongside you on this journey.
