Hello!

My name is Ali. I’m a Certified HypnoActive Birth Doula, who also happens to be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (aka, mental health therapist)! I have felt drawn to the “helping professions” for as long as I can remember. As a mother, therapist, and doula, my soul thrives in spaces of vulnerability, love, hard work, struggle, depth, and growth. My strengths lie in my ability to show up–to stay present in and hold space for the most raw of human experiences. I feel so honored to be invited into such spaces by my clients.

I believe the birth process and experience, from conception through the fourth trimester and beyond, to be a pivotal, transformative, and tender period of life. Being held and supported in compassion and understanding is crucial throughout this time. I would love to walk with you through your journey of becoming.

I birthed my two babies at home, so I feel a particular connection to out-of-hospital births; however I support all types of birth in any environment. All that matters to me is that my clients feel seen, informed, and empowered to be in charge of their birth–to be in the driver seat, rather than just along for the ride as a participant or patient. Ultimately, I hope my clients will have a birth experience that they can feel at peace with and be proud of! We can get there together, no matter what twists and turns your birth may take.
