When I say 'queer families,' I’m embracing a broad and inclusive understanding of the term. While this includes families with gay, lesbian, and trans parents, it also extends to those with non-traditional dynamics—whether you’re a single parent, part of a multiple-parent household, grandparents acting as primary caregivers, older parents, or a family that has chosen adoption or fostering.

Growing up in a non-traditional, single-parent household has deeply influenced my journey into doula work. It’s this background that has driven my passion to support families who, like mine, may not fit the traditional mold but are full of love and resilience. I understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with these dynamics, and I’m committed to providing the care and support that will help your family thrive.

For gay and lesbian parents, I offer support that respects and celebrates your identity, helping you navigate the joys and challenges of parenting in a world that may not always understand your experience. For trans parents, I provide care that is affirming and sensitive to your specific needs, ensuring that you feel seen and supported throughout your parenting journey. For single parents, I provide an extra set of hands, offering guidance and reassurance as you navigate parenting on your own. For multiple-parent households, I help create a harmonious routine that works for everyone involved. If you’re grandparents stepping into the role of primary caregivers, I offer support in re-adjusting to the demands of newborn care, while also helping you balance the joys and challenges that come with this role. For older parents, I’m here to ensure you have the energy and resources to enjoy every moment with your little one. And for families who have adopted or are fostering, I offer specialized support to help your child feel secure and loved as they transition into their new home.

As a dedicated ally, I approach my work with the utmost respect and love for all my clients. I understand the unique joys and challenges that come with diverse family dynamics, and know it’s my privilege to stand beside you, offering care that is both compassionate and affirming. No matter your family structure, my goal is to help you feel confident in your parenting journey. I’m here to educate, support, and empower you, ensuring that you and your baby thrive together. At Cuddle Bear Doula Care, I celebrate the diversity of families and am committed to providing the compassionate care you deserve.
