About me

I am a community birth worker based in the Greater Chattanooga, TN area. I have been providing professional, community-based perinatal, postpartum, and lactation education and support since 2014. I have trained and/or been educated in multiple, complementary modalities to enhance and support the work I provide in the birthing communities that I am blessed to be apart of. Through my own pregnancies and birth experiences, in addition to the family's I have been blessed to support; I have diverse skillsets to enrich and prepare my clients for the birth experiences they envision. I myself have been blessed to be the mother of 7 and am married with a very supportive spouse. My entire adult life has been dedicated to being of service. Birthwork is a second career for me as I previously was a cosmetologist for 25 years prior to retiring in 2011. I am also a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces having honorably served 8 years in the U.S. Navy. When not working in the birth space I find enjoyment in spending quality time with family, traveling, outdoors activities, and crafting, and cooking. I enjoy research on topics centered around pregnancy and birth and it's complexities. I am a mentor to other birthworkers and apprenticing to become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM aka "homebirth midwife").
