Hey, I’m Cora — a Certified Birth Doula (Childbirth International) and Postpartum Doula (The Active Birth Institute) here to support families in South Jersey, Greater Philadelphia, Southeastern Pennsylvania and Northern Delaware. Since 2023, I’ve been helping parents feel confident and empowered through the wild, beautiful journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

I’m the eccentric eldest sister of four, a fairy godmother of two, and a fierce advocate for reproductive autonomy and women’s healthcare. My goal is pretty simple: I’m here to help you take control of your birth and parenthood journey. You deserve the knowledge, strength, and support to do things your way — no judgment, no apology.

My Story
My journey to becoming a doula wasn’t your average one. I didn’t sit around dreaming of birth work as a kid, I didn’t have a friend ask me to sit in as their doula, and I haven’t given birth— but as the oldest of four siblings, and one of the eldest in my generation of cousins, I quickly learned that birth is tough, messy, and requires a whole lot of strength. I remember being 10 years old, begging my mom to let me come to the hospital when she was having my little brother. She couldn’t let me (thanks, hospital policies), but that fire to witness and understand birth was ignited — and it never went away.

Fast forward to my teen years: my cousin introduced me to the world of doulas, birth work, and placenta encapsulation, and I was hooked. I knew this was the work I was meant to do. But when I hit adulthood, I noticed how many people — especially women — were struggling to get the resources and education they deserved to make empowered choices in their pregnancy and birth. That’s when I decided to change that, and I dove headfirst into becoming a Certified Birth Doula. And I haven’t looked back.

Every day, I work to expand my knowledge and stay up-to-date with the latest evidence-based information. But just as important, I’ve learned that you don’t need to have a perfect birth to be an amazing parent. What you need is the right support, and that’s where I come in.

A Little About Me Outside of Birth Work
When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me buried in a good book, plotting ideas for a novel (that I’ll eventually finish lol), finding a 5+ season show to watch or hanging out with my friends and godkids (no religious affiliation here, just love and care for the next generation). I also have a deep appreciation for weird art, regardless of the medium — the kind that challenges the norms, gives a little perspective, or just gives off some unique, raw energy. That love for creative, unfiltered expression extends to my work as a doula too. I think every birth story is its own kind of art — unique, powerful, and a little bit messy, and that’s exactly how it should be.

I’m also an advocate for eclectic witchcraft, which is my personal practice of connecting with nature, energy, and the world around me. It’s all about balance, intuition, and feeling grounded — values that I carry into my work as a doula, supporting parents to feel balanced and centered through their own unique journeys.

How I Support You
As a Birth and Postpartum Doula, I mix evidence-based information with holistic care to give you a balanced, realistic approach that works for you. Whether you need someone to guide you through a hospital birth or hold space for your home birth, I’ve got your back. Birth is sacred, powerful, and primal — and I’m here to make sure you feel that power. I’ll help you make decisions that align with your needs, whether that’s advocating for your rights in a hospital setting, giving you emotional strength when you’re feeling overwhelmed, or supporting you through postpartum recovery with calm and confidence.

What You Can Expect
Here’s the deal: I’m not here to dictate how you should birth or parent. You’ve got your own path, and I’m here to help you walk it. Whether you’re looking for hands-on support, emotional reassurance, or a badass advocate who won’t let anyone mess with your birth experience, I’m your person. I’ll be there for you with the knowledge, the strength, and the calm you need — no matter what. It’s your body, your birth, your choices. I’m just here to help make sure you feel supported, empowered, and ready to handle whatever comes your way.
