about mallory
In my undergraduate education, I focused my passions on activism, community, and alternative healing. Within this emphasis, I learned about and experienced the necessity of Reproductive Justice, especially within BIPOC communities. I was gifted the knowledge of what it meant to be a doula from a pamphlet called The Radical Doula Guide—it spoke to me and laid out a path full of meaning and intention, which is what I had been searching for.
Knowing that we can only make decisions with what information we have at the time, I support and empower each birthing person to advocate for themselves & to provide resources and tools to help make the most informed decisions for them and their families—ones they can feel proud of. I provide trauma-informed, evidence-based care (informational, emotional, and physical) regarding pregnancy and labor. I strongly believe in the power of personalized care (another reason I became a doula) as it creates more positive labor outcomes and aids healing and community building.
I believe that all birthing people deserve this right & because of that, I aim to make my services accessible to you. I aim to help all families have positive memories surrounding their birth experiences. I believe that birth is natural and normal. My philosophies around birth include empowerment, movement, breathwork, essential oils, massage, and affirmations.
Currently a graduate student at Emperor’s College to become a Licensed Acupuncturist, I am passionate about providing further care for all fertility, birth, and postpartum needs. I can’t wait to share more about perinatal support from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective!
I am here to be with you throughout the process!
