(she/her)
What “non-doula” skills or talents do you bring to your doula work?
I have degrees in social welfare and biology, allowing me to provide evidence-based information while also understanding the emotional and systemic layers that shape someone's experience of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
What’s your favorite “fun fact” about birth?
A pregnant person's diet can impact the flavor and smell of their amniotic fluid, so babies get an early taste of the foods their parent eats!
More About Isabel
Describe your dream client.
My dream client is someone who is curious and wants to explore what works for them! I want my clients to be empowered to make informed choices that combine evidence-based information and their own values and lived experience to navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in the way that is right for them.
How do you enjoy spending free time?
In my free time, I like to be active and outside! I run, hike, camp, and read. I also like to play music and sew.
Trying to learn as much as you can before your baby’s arrival?
I offer virtual, 1-on-1 childbirth classes — so you can attend from anywhere!
Nothing beats being prepared. The more you know in advance, the less fear you’ll have — and the more confident you & your partner will be in your decisions during labor and birth. Sign up together and I’ll cover everything from pregnancy tips to how to advocate for yourself in a hospital setting.
