Ending diagnostic delay. Confronting medical dismissal. Defending your right to choose your own path - in health and in birth.
I'm a queer, neurodivergent parent, patient advocate, childbirth educator, and doula specializing in disability-informed, trauma-aware, and inclusive support. Drawing from both professional training and lived experience with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Dysautonomia, MCAS, and Long COVID, I help individuals navigate complex healthcare systems and consult with doulas and care professionals who want to better support diverse clients across body sizes, genders, abilities, and family structures. My goal is simple: helping people feel informed, respected, and empowered in their care and decision-making.
Patient Advocacy & Doula Support:
Dignity. Empowerment. Choice.
You deserve to be heard, believed, respected, and empowered to make your own decisions.
Dignity & Respect – Your voice matters.
Education & Empowerment – Understand your options.
Informed Choice & Autonomy – Your body, your decisions.
Inclusive, Affirming Support – Care without judgment or bias.
Advocacy & Access – Be heard. Be believed. Be respected.
Together, let's challenge medical dismissal, reduce barriers to care, and protect your right to choose your own path- in health and in birth.

“I would classify the things I learned in this class as “things I didn’t know I didn’t know, but am so glad that I do now.” ~Hillary S. 2nd time parent

“I am so grateful I had Ziah during my pregnancy and labor - she presented so much great information and resources to inform the decisions I was going to make about my birthing plan. Ziah was amazing support during the birth and I couldn’t have imagined it without her! She will be your best advocate and create so much comfort in your space.”
