A little about myself. My name is Crystal, I am a mom of 2 beautiful children and a wife to my amazing husband. I have been working in advocacy work for 15 years! I have spent roughly 10 of those years working in mental health and trauma informed care with both children and adults. My educational background includes a Bachelors degree in psychology and child development. Birth is a beautiful and individual experience. It is the hardest and most rewarding thing you will ever do. My goal as your doula is to do everything within my power to ensure that your birth experience leaves you feeling strong, powerful and proud!

During our prenatals we will get to know one another, discuss your birthing expectations and goals as well as practice various techniques for pain management etc. I will support you for your birth and also provide 2 postpartum visits where we will check in, answer questions and assist with basic lactation support if needed.
Crystal is an amazing doula - she lives and breathes this work. I sought her out after I learned she had natural births with both of her babies and had experience with co-sleeping and breastfeeding. She delivered on that experience and expertise by setting me up with all the coping skills my husband and I needed to labor at home. She took time to answer my questions about the birthing process, breastfeeding and post partum, provided me with useful tools, checked on me frequently, loved and supported me during my post partum and has continued to be a resource since. I highly recommend Crystal as your doula as she will put her heart and soul in to being there for you. Crystal really walks the talk which was so important for me in choosing the right doula. Don’t let her slip away!

Crystal is all around amazing. She is supportive, knowledgeable and she empowers you to make informed decisions for yourself and what you want. I struggled to feel comfortable with any doctors after my last pregnancy; Crystal helped to put me at ease. After talking with her I felt more able to find a doctor that worked for me, and I have felt like I had someone wholeheartedly in my corner throughout my pregnancy.
