LGBTQIA+ Care

I know firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate a system that wasn’t normed for us. I came to being a doula in order to fill a gap in education, in support, and in advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community in reproductive spaces, specifically in the upstate area. I will provide gender inclusive and affirming care for you. I hope to be a liaison between queer folks and their medical providers. I hope to advocate for our community and my clients in a way that allows you to walk into a doctor’s office, fill out medical forms, and even give birth to a baby with the peace of knowledge that your identity and your family has been thought of and cared for.

ExcLUSIVELY FoR The QueER + Trans Community

You deserve to grow your family with dignity and with support that actually takes your unique family situation into account. Beginning with TTC (trying to conceive), the queer reproductive experience is unique to every family and may present hurdles that cis & heterosexual families do not experience.

I am prepared to provide support for queer families from the first thoughts of trying to conceive, through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Some supports I can provide:

  • connecting you to reliable sources of information

  • talking through the process

  • Q&A

  • providing chestfeeding, induced lactation and supplemental feeding education for parents

  • attending or preparing for appointments with you

  • adoption and surrogacy option exploration

  • second-parent adoption support

I am at this time only considering LGBTQIA+ families for labor and birth support. If you fit this description and are interested in the above listed services, birth doula support, or one of my other service packages, please schedule a consultation or fill in my contact form and we will create a service package that fits the needs of your family.
