After Milan spent five wonderful years in San Francisco as a professional nanny, her passion for supporting families eventually led her to birth work in 2020. Milan became a full blown "birth-nerd" and trained and certified as a DONA International Postpartum Doula. As a way to diversify her understanding and appreciation of the birth process she also trained as a birth doula and a Lamaze Childbirth Educator. Milan specializes in supporting clients with anxiety and depression and has experience working with families experiencing loss, grief, birth trauma, and strained family dynamics. Milan aims to blend into the unique flow of each clients’ home and family and has a keen ability to assess what support is needed on a given day or night. She enjoys helping parents find humor in the hard times and joy in the everyday wins.

After moving from Southern California in 2014 Milan now lives in Santa Rosa with her family and two beloved cats. She is an avid baker and loves tending to her garden and creating seasonal crafts. Milan is also passionate about protecting, educating and advocating for reproductive rights.

Milan’s Doula Superpower is tetris-packing clients’ fridges with postpartum snacks and meals.
