About
My path towards becoming a Doula began with my own childbirth and parenting journey. I am the mom of 5 kids, 2 we are raising from my husband’s previous marriage and 3 I birthed myself. Each of those births were unique and led me to my next birth plan. I quickly learned that feeling empowered during pregnancy, birth, and parenting comes from being well supported and educated. It is this feeling of empowerment that I want all new parents to feel during this stage in their lives and the reason that I began attending births and started my Doula certification in the spring of 2015.
Doula Philosophy
This is your birth, your body, and your baby. I believe in being a resource to my clients so that they feel strong and empowered to make the best decisions for their unique situation while being fully supported physically and emotionally.
