About Me

Hi, I'm Dorien! My path into birth work began with a passion for supporting children and families. From working as a daycare teacher and classroom educator to serving as a full-time nanny, I learned that caring for little ones also means caring for the people who love them. That realization inspired me to expand my work and support families from the very beginning of their journey, and this is truly my calling.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in empowerment, connection, and respect for each family's unique experience. As a certified community doula, I provide compassionate, whole-person support through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early childhood education.

Overall, my goal is to honor birthing people from all backgrounds and identities, creating a welcoming and inclusive space for every journey into parenthood.
