Hey there! Let me give you a glimpse into who I am and how "The Savvy Doula" came to be. Growing up in a household that valued holistic health, I learned early on about the importance of taking care of our bodies and staying active. But life has its twists and turns, and during my early adulthood, I faced some gut and stomach issues. It was a real eye-opener for me, you know? Made me realize the importance of not just treating symptoms, but digging deep to find the root cause. It also made me realize how difficult it is sometimes to find a nurse or a doctor that will listen to you and how important it is to advocate for your health. ​ Now, let's fast forward a bit. I've always had this thing for helping people and sharing knowledge to empower them, but I didn't feel satisfied in my corporate 9-5 job. When I took a class to educate myself on childbirth, I found my true calling in the world of doulas! Imagine my excitement when I discovered this whole new universe revolving around birth and babies. It hit me hard that families need more support during such a significant journey, especially when the medical system sometimes falls short. ​ Have you ever heard of the Greek word "Doula"? It means "a woman who serves," and man, does that resonate with me! As I delved deeper into doula work and connected with fellow women sharing their stories, my passion for serving families only grew stronger. I realized the power in empowering families to take charge of their birthing experiences and health choices. ​ Now, let's talk about my other passion – photography. There's something magical about capturing those perfect moments during birth that families will treasure forever. I believe in freezing those precious memories, so they're not just fleeting moments but lasting legacies. Combining doula support and photography is a magical mix that not only offers support to families in the moment, but also gives them something unique and special that they can look back on forever. ​ And then there are my childbirth classes. Oh, how I love educating and guiding others through this transformative journey! Helping families discover their voices and stand firm in their beliefs during the birthing process is what I live for. When I support a family, it's not just about being there during labor; it's about instilling confidence, empowerment, and a sense of control in their parenthood journey. ​ Oh, and when I'm not busy being a doula or hosting classes, you'll find me hanging out with my cat, Grayson. We're quite the adventurous duo, whether we're kayaking, hitting the beach, or hiking. ​ If you're looking for someone dedicated to making your birthing experience as empowering and memorable as possible, you've come to the right place. With me by your side, you can trust that your birth plan and needs will be fully supported, no matter where your journey takes you!

I offer three main packages, depending on your needs. You may also mix and match services at your convenience. It’s possible that your insurance companies may cover my doula services in part or in full! I have a National Provider’s number you can submit for reimbursement, but I do not guarantee insurance coverage.
