I’m not just a doula.
I’m your advocate.

I’ve spent over 20 years in the birth world watching families walk into one of the most transformative experiences of their lives completely unprepared — not because they didn’t care, but because the right support simply wasn’t there.

I founded ImprovingBirth to change that. I’ve worked on maternal health legislation, spoken on stages across the country, and helped thousands of families navigate pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. Now I’m back to doing what I love most: being your doula.

They came in uncertain.
They left transformed.

Dawn was the difference between a birth I just survived and one I actually felt proud of. She knew exactly when to speak up and when to let me lead.

First-time mom, San Diego CA
After my first C-section I was terrified to try again. Dawn helped me understand what happened and build a real VBAC plan. I had my son vaginally at 40 weeks.

VBAC mama, Atlanta GA
I didn’t know how much I needed a doula until the postpartum period hit. Dawn was there when my OB wasn’t, and she never once made me feel like a burden.
