This is a glimpse of who I am and one of my greatest passions. I am married to an amazing man, we have four incredible children, and we live in central Phoenix. We love traveling the world, playing together, and relaxing in the cool mountain air up north. In 2015, after a dozen years of being a full-time stay-at-home mama, our youngest started kindergarten. I asked myself, “What do I want to give myself to?” I loved pregnancy, labor and birth for myself, so I looked into becoming a doula to walk alongside and serve women on their own birth journey…and so it began. Just less than a year later in February of 2016, I completed my birth doula certification with DONA International. And I LOVE it! The whole process of birth is a true miracle, and the fact that I get the honor of witnessing these miracles on a regular basis is a gift from God. I continue to be honored and humbled when I am invited into the intimate setting called birth. I very much believe and trust in the physiological process of birth and my desire is to see women experience a positive and empowering birth! I look forward to getting to meet you and going on this journey with you and your new little one.

I'm available to walk the journey of pregnancy with you and provide support and resources as needed. We do an in home prenatal visit where I can assistance in helping you to create your birth preferences and prepare for the big day. For labor, birth and immediate postpartum, I provide support in your home, birth center and/or hospital once in active labor. I assistance with pain coping techniques and provide you with evidence based information that can assist you in making informed decisions. And I keep detailed notes of your experience to write your Birth Story for you. As a professional photographer, I can capture your experience for memories to be treasured for a lifetime. Following the birth, I stay with you to assist you with getting settled and initial breastfeeding. A follow-up phone call to check in with 48hrs and a postpartum home visit to discuss your birth experience and present you with your Birth Story and photographs.
