My Story
​
​
After reflecting on the unique experiences of giving birth to four children of my own, I recognized that preparation, research, and support were the keys to my own success both during labor and the post-partum periods. Naturally, I began caring for family members and friends in this way...providing pregnancy support, helpful resources, and practical care in the few weeks/months after their babies were born, whenever I was asked. (and I LOVED being asked!)
​
Becoming a doula has felt like the natural result of my years of teaching, mothering, and hospitably caring for others. I am proud and passionate about my work and wake up (or stay up all night!) excited about serving my clients each day.
