Starting June 2025, I am sharing care with a dear friend and doula/photographer, Martha Lanphear.

Martha is an incredible doula, with her strengths shining through in how she shows up for the people she is supporting.

Martha is passionate about making families feel comfortable in this transformative process, has open, honest discussions, and truly loves the people that she works with. She has so much knowledge around all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum as well as miscarriage, and she provides an excellent balance of evidence-based information and intuitive care, really tuning in to people’s needs and making them feel safe and held.

I am confident that with both of our strengths, together her and I cover virtually any topic to provide holistic, comprehensive care.
