Hey, hi hello! When I’m not doula-ing, my days are spent with people I love moving my body, making art, exploring new places, binge-ing reality TV. I also have a soft spot for hugs that last just a little too long.…and steam rooms, obviously.

By day (and sometimes night), I’m a doctoral researcher deep in the messy and chaotic world of late medieval sexual and marital relations. I run a bi-weekly blog connecting reproduction, sex, and gender to pop culture, proving we have way more in common with the past than we think.

I have a Master’s in History from the University of Edinburgh, worked with the curatorial team at the Heinz History Center to develop their 2023 Women’s History Exhibit , and then moved to LA to train as a doula under Indigenous-centered holistic doula nd midwife Johanna Storey. Since then, I’ve supported families through all kinds of traditions, and seen firsthand what happens when consent and autonomy get ignored. That fueled my obsession with reproductive rights, past and present.

Now, my love of medieval scandal and modern doula life collide in my PhD, where I trace the evolution of reproductive autonomy across bloodlines. Stick around, I’ll study the past to make sense of the present, share some messy stories, and maybe even spill a little historical tea along the way!
