As a mother who has experienced it firsthand, I recognize the significance of receiving personal support while navigating pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the postpartum period. Following a traumatic first birth at a hospital, I was determined to have a different experience with my subsequent child. Empowered by knowledge, I opted for a natural, unmedicated birth, trusting in my body's abilities. By staying attuned to my body during pregnancy, prioritizing hormone balance, and nourishing myself, I prepared for this journey. Equipped with various coping strategies, I took control of my pregnancy, leading to a positive and empowering birth. This transformative experience ignited a desire to assist other women in avoiding traumatic births. I advocate for women's autonomy in their pregnancy and birthing choices, believing in their innate capability for this process. They were created for this! I offer support for all birth preferences, whether at home or in a hospital, guiding and preparing women for a beautiful birthing experience. Trained by DONA, I continuously expand my knowledge to better assist my clients, helping them to have a BLISSFUL BEGINNING into motherhood and beyond.

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.

My passion as a doula is empowering pregnant women to take control of their prenatal preparation. I learned with my first pregnancy that birth is a huge physical feat, so I give you tools and simple movement exercises (that I wish I had back then!) which will train and balance your body specifically for the task at hand: pregnancy, birth, and recovery. I hired a doula for my first two births and I was SO grateful for that decision!! I gave birth at a free-standing birth center, with the support of her and my spouse. If it wasn't for my doula, I know I would not have made it through the marathon of labor! I came away feeling supported and strong. I was certified as a doula in 2016 and then in 2022 trained as a Body Ready Method Pro & Childbirth Educator. My wish is for everyone to be able to bring their baby into the world feeling supported, cared for, and prepared. I believe in the empowerment that comes from taking charge of your own labor which reveals a deeper strength you didn't know was there. You deserve a strong support system so that you can have a beautiful birth experience.
