Since becoming a doula, I have volunteered with Operation Doula, providing volunteer doulas to military families here in San Diego. I am a military wife and know how having support during transitional times in life can make all the difference! Besides Operation Doula, I have worked at a private practice, attending births, which is where Birth With Blaise was born. Often, I have held space for “faith-based” births to the Christian community, which I continue to offer when requested. Although it is important to me to serve individuals regardless of living situation, beliefs, insurance type, and identity. I feel it is a human right to be cared for equally, with respect, consent, and unconditional love. I am always willing to come together and decide how I can best serve YOU, right where you are in life.

My journey into birth work and maternal care is ever growing. I am committed to continue learning and growing to better serve those I work with. I am currently pursuing the role of IBCLC, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, locally at UCSD. While also regularly attending other educational events to gain further cultural competency, compassion, and skills through evidence-based resources and the voices of others.

As I worked with families through their birth experiences, my calling to support others in transitional seasons of life called me further. This led me to become postpartum doula trained. Because everyone deserves to be held, cared for, and nurtured into their 4th trimester.
