My journey to becoming a doula began after the birth of my son. Like many first-time mothers, my experience had both beautiful moments and challenging ones. I often felt overwhelmed by the amount of advice and opinions coming from everywhere—friends, family, social media, and the medical system. There was so much I didn’t know, and my birth plan did not go exactly how I had envisioned. I chose to give birth in a hospital setting, and at times I found it difficult to fully trust my body and advocate for my preferences. I wanted so deeply to be a “good patient,” but I also longed for a calm, supported, and empowered birth experience. Instead, I often felt like I was navigating an unfamiliar system blindly. I felt that I didn’t always know the questions to ask, so missed out on vital knowledge that could have created a better birth experience.
It was through these experiences that I learned about the role of a Birth Doula and I felt an immediate calling to help create a more supported, informed, and positive birth experience for other women.
Outside of my practice, I am married to Trevor and we have a son and three rescue pups that make up our family. I love spending time together and being outdoors. I am also an Army Veteran, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, and Certified Prenatal & Postpartum Coach. I am currently in journey to my international certification as a Birth Doula through DONA.
I have a passion for women's health and the holistic approach to birth support. To me, birth is not to be viewed as a medical event, but rather as a deeply instinctive and transformative experience.
Whatever your vision for your birth journey may be, I will be there to support you every step of the way.
