About me

As 5th of 12 children I have been surrounded by birth my whole life. After doing a 2 day birth crash course I was struck to my core by the beauty of birth and realized my call to this sacred work. I went on to take an intensive birth doula/midwifery intro course that has honed my passion and given me the tools to be a competent birth companion. My mom and I now work together as a dynamic dual-generational birth team! We are passionate about educating and supporting women to empower them to have instictive and autonomous births.
