Nice to meet you, I’m Alex

I’m a Birth & Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Educator and Photographer in the Pacific Northwest and my life is all about respect for the family process, whether I am supporting families as a postpartum doula or documenting them as photographer. I dedicate my life to the empowerment and happiness of families through reproductive rights and helping to instill the confidence in them to demand the life they want. I am all about helping you fall in love with your life - as a mother, parent, family, couple.

I live in North Tacoma with my three wonderful kiddos I get to raise as a single mama with tons of generous village support. I live with ADHD and successfully navigated Postpartum Anxiety Disorder after the birth of my son in 2013, and am passionate about passing on the tools I have found to aid and inspire families through these profound transitions. I am fiercely protective of neurodivergent success in these challenging life transitions, and connect especially well with those who have a mental health diagnosis.

I have been studying birth work extensively for 6 years and completed a Lactation Education course and a Birth Doula course instructed by the pioneer of doula work herself, Penny Simkin. Finally becoming certified in Postpartum Care through Birth Arts International in 2020. I feel honored on my role as a provider of these services to create and capture beautiful moments for you.

My most current area of specialized studies is perinatal mental health and I am gathering credentials towards my certification in perinatal mental health to offer clinical support sessions for my clients. Until then I have intentional healing sessions which can be scheduled virtually and used for non clinical wellness support , preparation, processing and emotional support.
