The last 10 years I have served over 100 families to have a calm, peaceful, natural birthing experience through HypnoBirthing or as a Birth Doula. My passion is in natural childbirth and the power of the mind, body, soul connection. Now certified as a Transpersonal Hypnotherapist and ERT Practitioner I can create custom Hypnosis and ERT sessions tailored to release your specific fears or hesitations leading up to your birthing process and have the tools to help you settle deeper into relaxation on your birthing day. I have mastered the art of a pain free birth and so can you! I'd be delighted to help support you on your own birth journey, whatever that looks like for you.

I have been a birth doula since 2007. I am also a registered nurse and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Instructor @ Genesis-Davenport.

Hello! My name is Crystal, and as a wife, mom of three, and registered nurse, I’ve always been drawn to helping others. But it was the alarming reality of our nation’s maternal morbidity and mortality rate that truly ignited my passion. Despite our advanced medical care, too many women are suffering, and I believe it's due to a lack of holistic support. I'm here to change that. As a labor and postpartum doula and childbirth educator, I'm committed to providing compassionate care and evidence-based information to empower women and families. Let's work together to create a safer, more supportive birthing experience.
