About Childbirth Education & Preparation
I see childbirth as a huge life shift, not just a medical event. My job isn’t to teach you how to birth, but to help you and your partner tap into your own instincts. I use evidence-based birth education, but I also trust your gut and your choices. People tell me they feel like I’m that lighthouse when things get choppy—steady, non-judgy, there for you.
What I Offer
-
Comprehensive Lamaze Birth Classes Online
My 12-hour live, interactive course is for couples who want to go deep. We cover everything: how labor really works, all the Lamaze Healthy Birth Practices, birth pain management techniques (from breathing to medical pain relief), and how partners can actually help (not just stand in the corner looking lost). The groups are small so you can ask anything without awkwardness.
You’ll get handouts, videos, and time to connect with others in the same boat. -
Labor Prep Crash Course
Short on time? This is a fast 2-hour online blitz. We hit the essentials: labor stages, coping with contractions, partner support during labor, and the basics of Lamaze. -
Labor Preparation Workshop, Bangalore
For those in Bangalore, I run creative, in-person workshops with actual movement, belly dance, ‘Birth Art’, and comfort drills. We do belly mapping, play with birth balls, and wrap up with deep guided relaxation. Groups are small, vibe is super chill.
How I Work
- Always on your side, not the hospital’s.
- You get info, but also space to process, ask, and even vent.
- Not gonna sugarcoat: birth prep is intense, sometimes the system can feel stacked against you. I aim to make you feel less alone and more ready—whatever birth looks like for you.

My Story
Gratitude is honestly the word for what I do. Being a doula just fits - my ikigai, really. Learned from legends like Naoli Vinaver, always picking up new things like rebozo, prenatal fitness. Co-founded The Doula Collective, so I’ve got this whole tribe of birth workers behind me. Wouldn’t be here without my family and the families who let me in at their most raw, real moments. Birth changes you, every single time.
My Work
What I Offer - Lamaze childbirth classes online, birth doula support in Bangalore, prenatal & postpartum counseling, plus empowered birth workshops for couples.
My Doula Role - I’m your calm, steady support. Not bossing you around—just there for you, your partner, your choices. Gentle birth, always.
How My Classes Feel - No hospital script here. We do fun, interactive sessions with real info—so you feel ready, not just prepared.
Workshops: Go Deeper - Art, music, movement, meditation—my workshops help you connect with your body’s wisdom, not just the books.
Every Birth Matters - Been at 55+ births. Stats are fine, but your experience, how you feel about your birth, that’s what matters most.
