Birth & Postpartum are ceremonies.

I founded Muungas Doula Services as a commitment to maintaining the personal, cultural, and community practices that surround all of life's thresholds. You deserve to make the choices that best serve you and your community, and I am here to support that decision making.

The name Muungas comes from my family tradition of calling my grandmothers Muungas. The Muungas are who brought me to this work.

In terms of formal training, I received  my Masters of Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health and was trained as a doula by Ancient Song Doula Services and Zaagi’idiwin Indigenous Birth Workers.

Muungas Doula Services

I am a full-spectrum doula and offer support at all stages of life. This means that if you need a doula for your Saturn Return, a significant loss, or any other transition, I’m here for you. More specifically, when it comes to the threshold of preparing for a family, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I offer the following services in homes, birth centers, hospitals and beyond:

  • Prenatal doula: Before your due date we will work together over the course of three meetings to prepare your mind, body, and spirit for crossing this threshold. Together, we can explore how to maintain ceremony - as you define it – as a part of your labor, birth, and postpartum.

  • Birth doula: This support includes continuous assistance during labor, birth, and the first hours of postpartum. I will support you with feeding, bonding, care, and recovery. A note that I am a postpartum-centric birth doula, so all of my birth doula support will include postpartum support as well. 

  • Postpartum doula: This support takes place in the days, weeks, and months following birth to support the transition after pregnancy and birth. Together, we will work to ensure you and your community are fed, comfortable, and grounded as you define it. I will center taking impeccable care of you and those you love as you transition into this new phase of togetherness. 

  • Loss support: This support is available for folks experiencing loss of any kind.

  • Abortion doula: I am available to support individuals experiencing abortions.

  • Adoption doula: This support is available to folx preparing for and experiencing adoption.
