Birth & Postpartum Support
Everyone deserves to receive the highest level of support throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. As a doula, my priority is to fill in the gaps and provide a unique combination of educational, physical, and emotional support to each birthing person.

Casea believes in birth autonomy and body sovereignty for all beings. Her practice is rooted in the belief that all persons have the right to reproductive choice. Casea supports and advocates for diverse family structures & cultural practices, and is continuously looking at the ways oppressive systems such as white supremacy, colonization, capitalism, and patriarchy impact marginalized communities.
Casea acknowledges that Black and Brown folks are disproportionately impacted by reproductive injustices, and that the medical industrial complex has historically abused people of the global majority (non-white people).
