Hi! I’m Tess (she/her), a queer doula based in Berkeley, California, on Huichin Ohlone land. I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families through all reproductive life events with compassion and inclusivity. As a certified doula through Cornerstone Birthwork Training, I provide nonjudgmental care that honors each person’s unique needs and experiences. Since beginning my doula journey, I’ve had the honor of supporting over 100 families prenatally, through birth, and/or during the postpartum period. I am truly grateful to engage in work that speaks to my soul.

I provide my clients with the latest evidence and science-backed explanations while holding space for our bodies to work their innate magic. I have deep reverence for nature’s design, but also understand that medical support can be life-saving, trauma-mitigating, or simply someone’s desire.

I love my work because, at its core, it’s human-to-human connection. Whatever your path entails, you deserve to be fully seen and heard throughout. You can count on me to show up for you with immense respect, deep understanding, and the utmost care. I will walk alongside you as you traverse the greatest labyrinth – bringing new life into our world.
