About me
My name is Alexandra, most people know me as Ale (she/they). I live in a circus of my five wonderful kids, two dogs, senior cat Dexter and my life partner, Tyler. We all live in our 1950s split level home tucked in the East Side of Saint Paul.
I became a doula in 2018, prior to the birth of my third child, before that I was planning and coordinating events. After spending almost a decade in the world of celebrations, I started my journey in birth. Now I support families in carefully curating their birth and postpartum preferences. It is my ultimate goal to empower each family in the process of one of the most transformative life events. I provide evidence based care, compassion and space for informed decision making.
When I’m not caring for other families or my own, I find joy in cooking nourishing meals, cultivating a native plant garden, exploring nature, discovering ways to repurpose goods and watching horror films.
