My Commitment to a High Standard of Care
The United States has the highest maternal and infant mortality outcomes in the developed world, with Black and indigenous families facing the most disproportionate mortality statistics. According to the CDC, over 50% of these deaths occur postpartum and 84% of these deaths are preventable overall. My Standard of Care includes wraparound care from the moment of hiring to support all of my families, but especially BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and families birthing out of the hospital system to improve their outcomes with midwifery care. Sliding scale payment options are always available and all families receive my standard birth services--including 4 prenatal appointments, a postpartum visit, and complimentary placenta encapsulation--regardless of financial means.

Birth is sacred. And so are you.
The “Fiat” in Fiat Doula Services means "surrender" in Latin. It’s a ‘yes’ with your whole mind, body, and soul. It can be hard to say yes to birth and parenthood, but that's why I'm here; to help you get to your yes.
​
Wise women taught me everything I know.
From sunny California to Mississippi and the Cape Coast of Ghana, I am grateful to the midwives, doulas, birthworkers, religious sisters, and matriarchs of my own family that have taught me to care for myself and others.
