Hi, I’m Sonja—mom of two teen boys, former lawyer, and full-spectrum doula. After working as a family law attorney for eight years, I became a postpartum doula in 2016 and a birth doula in 2020. I hold additional training in Spinning Babies®, Gilligan’s Guide, and Lactation Counseling.

I'm a critical thinker and life-long learner with a deep passion for supporting families during the perinatal period. My approach blends evidence-based care with intuition, always honoring what feels right for each individual family.

I bring a thoughtful, conscientious energy to my work and take the trust my clients place in me seriously. With a background in law and a strong commitment to reproductive justice, I strive to provide inclusive, high-quality care while actively working to challenge systems of oppression.

My own birth and postpartum experiences opened my eyes to the gaps in support for new parents. Inspired by my own doulas and driven by a love for education and emotional insight, I’ve found my purpose in this work. I take a holistic, personalized approach to care—preparing clients for the unexpected, supporting them through big transitions, and always listening with compassion and curiosity. I consider it a privilege to be invited into families’ birth spaces and to walk with them through such a special, vulnerable life stage. I’d be honored to work with you (although you truly can’t go wrong with any of the amazing 9th Avenue Doulas!).
