Meet Your Fairy Godmother

Hi, I'm Diva

The heart behind Fairy Godmother Care.

I'm a certified full-spectrum doula, postpartum doula, and newborn care specialist. I support families welcoming a new baby, navigating the early days of parenthood, and people approaching the end of life.

I've learned that grief isn't only about death, just as birth isn't only about bringing a baby into the world. Sometimes we're grieving a relationship, a version of ourselves, or the life we thought we'd have, while growing into something new at the same time.

There's room for all of it. You can be excited and terrified. Grateful and exhausted. Heartbroken and hopeful. None of those feelings cancel each other out, and you shouldn't have to explain or apologize for any of them.

I meet people where they are, respect their choices, and offer a steady presence: the kind of comfort that feels like a hug without ever needing to be touched.

How I Work

Anticipatory. Trauma-informed. Always in your corner.

Every client I work with receives what I call an anticipatory approach to care, which means I help you understand what's coming before it arrives. Whether that's the stages of labor, the emotional terrain of postpartum recovery, or what the natural process of dying looks and feels like, I believe that knowledge is one of the greatest forms of comfort I can offer.

I am also trauma-informed in everything I do. I understand that the people I serve often carry histories: of difficult births, of complicated grief, of healthcare experiences that left them feeling unheard. I move slowly. I ask before I act. I follow your lead.

My role is never to take over. It is to walk alongside you.

Anticipatory care

I prepare you for what's ahead, so nothing arrives without warning.

Trauma-informed presence

I follow your pace, your boundaries, and your needs at every step.

Autonomy advocacy

Your wishes, your voice, your choices. I'm here to support and protect them.

What I Believe

The values behind every visit

Dignity

Every person, regardless of age, ability, circumstance, or stage of life, deserves to be treated with full humanity and respect.

Presence

Showing up fully, without distraction, without rushing, without an agenda, is one of the most profound things one person can offer another.

Autonomy

You are the expert on your own life, your own body, and your own wishes. My role is to support your choices, never to override them.

Continuity

Care doesn't end when the appointment does. I'm here before, during, and after, for as long as you need.

What Clients Say

"From the beginning, she was a breath of fresh air. I never had to ask her to do anything; she simply took care of everything."
