| Full Spectrum Doula Support |
In February 2026 I became a Full Spectrum Doula with Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings.
BADT trains doulas from a reproductive justice framework to support preconception, abortion work, perinatal loss, adoption, and postpartum, as well as labor and birth (and all these areas are what is meant by ‘full spectrum.’)
I currently volunteer as a Birth Partners Doula at NC Women’s Hospital. This is a wonderful program that provides doulas free of charge to patients laboring at NC Women’s. For me, it has been such a gift to support folks for almost a year, and I plan to keep volunteering for as long as I can. I encourage folks to request a doula if they are giving birth at UNC and to spread the word to friends and family that may birth there.
I am not currently taking my own clients as a doula, but in spring/summer of 2027 I plan to begin doing so. I will be interested to support folks with whom I think my lived experience makes me an especially well suited support person – queer folks, single parents, non-monogamous parents, Spanish-speaking folks, artists, etc. Please reach out if you are planning a pregnancy (no matter where you are in your journey) and want to talk to me about your journey and what support might look like.
