I was born and raised in the Yankton Sioux community in Wagner, SD. Since 2010, I've lived and worked in the Lower Sioux Community in southwest Minnesota. My partner Roy and I have two daughters together, Khili and Kheya. I am the eldest daughter of 3 and I have always been a caretaker, helping to raise my sisters and cousins and then my nieces and nephews.
When I'm not at work or chasing my babies, I enjoy beading, sewing, reading and listening to the Crime Junkie podcast, and trying new recipes.
Training
As a Full Spectrum Doula, I am not a medical professional but I hope to work alongside clients in a variety of medical settings. Being accessible, inclusive, and culturally competent is a priority for me when helping clients navigate oppressive systems, especially for BIPOC women and families.
Goals
It is my goal to comprehensively support birthing people and their families from preconception to postpartum and every phase in between.
