About me

My name is Patience, I am 26 years old and being a mother is my absolute greatest calling. I value my education deeply; I am a nurse, doula, childbirth educator, lactation counselor and the educator for Belly Birth Baby Academy. ​ I have two children myself and had two beautiful home-births with each of them. I understand just how needed proper support is during these vulnerable events. My goal is to help bridge the gap in education, care and support that families receive. There is no reason every woman should not have an empowering and memorable motherhood experience! ​ Many times, I support families beginning pre-conception, during birth and throughout their fourth trimester. I absolutely love these lasting connections! If you are searching for a holistic-minded doula to support you throughout your unique journey, to lift you up and nurture you - I would love to be that doula for you. I hope to meet many more sisters and life-long friends; for we are the only ones who can create our own village. ​ ​
