Sabay Sabay
Full-Spectrum Birth Companion
In tagalog, the phrase "sabay sabay" means to be in unison, to do something together, with and for each other. I believe that the spirit of birth is about working harmoniously together, as baby, birthing person, partner, support system, providers, and doula.
Navigating your options—the why behind them—and learning how to advocate for what you want throughout pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period can feel like a lot to hold. I’m here to offer steady care along the way. By working with me as your doula, you’ll receive informational, emotional, and physical support that completes you in feeling empowered, grounded, and at peace with the choices you make. This is your body and your journey— what an exciting time!
