Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, I am a mixed race Asian American woman and use she/her pronouns. Food is how I was taught to show love and care, especially through my Japanese family and culture. One of my favorite ways to show care for family and friends is through cooking and baking delicious food for them. My love for food informs my doula work as I believe food can give both comfort and nutrition to birthing people throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My hope is to help you feel like you are equipped with information and support so you can decide what will be best for you and your birth. I offer services in English and Japanese. Please get in touch to set up a free informational consultation. I look forward to getting to know you!
