Hi! My name is Cali, I am a Californian through and through - born and raised right here in Santa Clarita. My passion for birth started a decade ago, just after I experienced the amazing unmedicated birth of my son, Silas. It was nothing short of life changing and core shaking, so much so that I decided to pursue birth work full time as a Labor Doula, Postpartum Doula and Childbirth Educator. While the life of a birth worker can be demanding and challenging, the reward is always seeing new parents realize their power and watch them come into their own as they welcome their baby.

How someone births matters, how someone is birthed matters. Birth has the potential to change the trajectory of the lives that experience and witness it, that is why working at Pure Births is an honor and a privilege. There is always someone to learn from, there is always an opportunity to humble myself and there is always chance to serve others.

My husband and I have built a lovely life here in Santa Clarita with our son, Silas and kitty, Leo. When I am not in the Pure Births office with Debra or at a birth assisting the midwives - you can find me at home with a puzzle, or a crochet project while watching a Hallmark Mystery movie. When I venture out of Santa Clarita, you will likely find me at Ventura Beach or at Grandma’s house in Northern California.

One of my favorite birthy quotes is by Mother Teresa, “The greatest science in the world; in heaven and on earth; is love.”

I believe the world needs more vulnerability and empathic listening. Never underestimate the importance and impact of listening when someone is ready to tell you their story.
