Birth work is an incredible calling.
As a certified birth doula, my passion is supporting families through pregnancy, labor/birth, and the early postpartum period. Everyone deserves to feel supported and uplifted on the day they welcome a child into the world. Birth work is an incredible calling, and it is my honor to come alongside moms during these transformative moments.
A passion for birth was awakened in me after experiencing the power and transcendence of birth for myself.
I realized that education and support made birth a peaceful and empowering experience, and felt called to provide compassionate care to mothers through their unique experiences of birth. I have walked alongside many families during this incredible journey, learning from each of them and growing with each new experience.
For me, doula support isn’t about telling my clients the “right” way to birth, because there is no one right way. Rather, my goal is to provide evidence-based information and help clients uncover their own values and desires, and support those wholehearted. As a Catholic Christian, I view birth as a sacred experience. I support families of all faiths and belief systems. No matter how birth unfolds, my role is to serve and to foster an atmosphere of joy.
My husband and I have three beautiful and boisterous children, and when not caring for expecting families you can find me romping through the woods with them, enjoying a cup of coffee, or getting lost in a good book.
