Hi, I’m glory.
I love babies. But I love supporting the people who birth and parent them even more.
I work with families within 20 miles of UCLA.

Before I became a doula, I…
lived on four continents
helped a group of women on Mount Kilimanjaro start a pig-raising collective
taught students from preschool to graduate school for twenty-five years
earned a PhD in research methodology
held a faculty position at UCLA
