As a mother who has experienced it firsthand, I recognize the significance of receiving personal support while navigating pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the postpartum period. Following a traumatic first birth at a hospital, I was determined to have a different experience with my next child. I opted for a natural, unmedicated birth, trusting in my body's abilities. By staying attuned to my body during pregnancy, prioritizing hormone balance, and nourishing myself, I prepared for this journey. I learned how to take charge of my pregnancy, while trusting God and seeking His wisdom. Equipped with various coping strategies and having a supportive birth team, I went on to have a redeeming and empowering birth experience. This is how birth should be! No matter if that's natural or medicated, the mother should feel SAFE and SUPPORTED - having her choices respected. This experience ignited a passion and desire to support other women as they prepare to bring their little ones into the world. I believe in women's autonomy in their pregnancy and birthing choices, believing in their innate capability for this process as the mother. God created them for this! I serve women in various birthing locations. Certified by both DONA and The Biblical Birth School, I continuously expand my knowledge to assist my clients better, helping them to have a BLISSFUL BEGINNING into motherhood and beyond.
