I'll direct you to the definitions of the organization I recieved my training through!

“An abortion doula can be the light that guides a friend, loved one, or stranger through their abortion journey. An abortion doula can be the driver during a silent car ride to a clinic, who comforts with their presence alone, or the person at the other end of the phone as they describe exactly what will happen during your procedure tomorrow--all the while managing to make it somehow less scary.  

In the most basic sense, an abortion doula can be anybody who provides non-medical support for someone going through an abortion. They are a friendly face, a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on, a source of information, and an advocate for their client’s care in a medical setting.  

A trained abortion doula, however, is someone who is equipped to provide nonjudgmental, knowledge-based care for someone experiencing a medical, surgical, or self-managed abortion.”

As a queer, chronically ill, Christian woman, I understand the ways my communities have struggled to recieve unbiased, holistic reproductive care. I am trauma informed, support bodily autonomy, and protect client privacy. You can look to me for educational, emotional, and spiritual support, knowing my priority is always your wellbeing, no matter your experience or need.

I offer both in-person and virtual support. I am located in the suburbs of Chicago, which is where I am best suited to practice in-person. However, my virtual options are available and accessible to all, though some of my knowledge is best suited for those living underneath Illinois law.
