Biography:

As a Vietnamese immigrant, mother, and community resource specialist, I am deeply committed to supporting families through meaningful and compassionate care. With a background in education and medical interpreting, I understand the importance of clear communication and cultural sensitivity. I am passionate about helping families—especially those in underserved communities—feel supported, respected, and not alone during their journey.

Why did you become a doula?

I became a doula because I care deeply about supporting families during some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. Through my work as a community resource specialist, and as a Vietnamese immigrant and mother, I’ve seen how important it is to feel heard, supported, and not alone—especially when facing language or cultural barriers. I want to offer gentle, compassionate support so every family feels safe, respected, and cared for during their birth journey.

What is your personal connection to birth/family/community?

My connection to birth and family is deeply personal—I’m a mother, and that experience has shown me how powerful and emotional the journey can be. As a Vietnamese immigrant, I also grew up valuing strong family and community bonds.

In my work, I see how much families need support, especially when they feel alone or overwhelmed. That connection is what motivates me to be present for others with care and compassion.

What is your philosophy of doula care?

I believe doula care is about being a steady, compassionate presence. My goal is to help families feel safe, supported, and truly heard during a very vulnerable time. I respect that every birth experience is different, and I’m there to support—not guide—their choices, while honoring their culture, values, and needs.

Who is your ideal client?

My ideal client is someone who wants support, feels comfortable asking for help, and values being heard and respected. I’m especially drawn to working with underserved or immigrant families who may need extra support navigating care.
