I strongly believe in creating a positive space to plan for, and experience, birth. My goal is to create a space of peace and confidence when it's time to meet your baby, and utilizing all of my life's knowledge and training to support your inherent wisdom to give birth. I am is known to be very empathetic. I LOVE naps and dark chocolate, and am a self-proclaimed introvert, despite what people think :). As a wife and mother of 4: ages 20, 16, and 6, I absolutely adores my children. I was called to become a Doula after experiencing 3 traumatic births, postpartum depression, and the death of one of my twin babies, all with little to no support. Through therapy, I realized I wanted to help other families so they do not have to experience these types of difficult things alone. I have an active mind and am always learning - a "forever student". I have trouble sitting still and love utilizing my many trainings and certifications to support my clients. I've been told, many times, I have a steady, calming demeanor, allowing my clients to relax in my presence and to feel held. ​When not supporting families in birth and postpartum, you can find me listening to my favorite audiobooks and podcasts, gardening, making art, and laughing at dad jokes!

I provide flexible care for my clients. My approach to prenatal care and birth changes from client to client - everyone is different, therefore approaches must change. As a Birth doula you receive: -Weekly or bi-weekly check-ins via text, call, or email (frequency is based on what the client wants) -1-2 hours Birth Planning Session -Pregnancy Support -Labor & Birth Support: as your doula, birth support begins when you are in active labor, 6cm. Once there, or nearing it, I come to you. Any time before that consists of phone or video check-in to gauge both how you are and how your labor is progressing. - 1-1.5 hours Postpartum Birth Processing Session (occurs 10 days post delivery) - Informative pdfs and documents about prenatal testing, comfort techniques, baby/pregnancy/postpartum essentials list (curated by other moms I've supported) As your Postpartum Doula you will receive: -Hands-on help with caring for your baby so you can sleep or heal -Light household chores: dishes, baby's laundry, take out garbage. -Education on newborn care & basic lactation support -Baby wearing -Postpartum healing advice & support -Basic birth processing -Nutritional support -Providing community resources, etc.
