Lacey, Certified Postpartum Doula

I spent ten years on the West Coast before moving to DC in 2022. While there, I was certified as a full spectrum doula (2017) by Cornerstone Doula Trainings which focuses on advocacy, inclusivity, reproductive justice, harm reduction, and community. I have supported 125+ families through birth and postpartum journeys as a doula and student midwife.

Prior to moving into birthwork, I worked as sleep technician and research assistant for five years, and as a result I am a passionate advocate for sleep! Enough sleep is a crucial component that supports mental wellbeing, which is often a challenge for new parents. An overnight postpartum doula can do a lot to support sleep for both parents and babies and ease the transition into parenthood, whether for a new parent or a parent adding another baby to the family.

When I'm not working, I most often cuddling my 8 year old pitbull.
