About me

As the second oldest of four siblings, I’ve always had a natural inclination towards caretaking. In adulthood, I found myself being a go-to person for my friends, siblings and their growing families - offering advice, support and a helping hand whenever they needed it. I found fulfillment in being there for others during these pivotal moments in their lives. After 13 years of working in the agricultural equipment industry, I discovered that my true passion lay in supporting new mothers during the postpartum period. I wanted to use my nurturing nature to help women adjust to their new roles as mothers and provide their families with the support they need to thrive. That’s why I made the decision to become a postpartum doula. Through my work, I hope to provide emotional, physical and practical support to new mothers and their families. From offering breastfeeding advice to providing a listening ear during those late-night feedings, I’m honored to be able to make a difference in the lives of others.
