I came to birth work after experiencing the life changing power of having a doula for my third birth after having two Cesarean births and hoping for a VBAC. While I was thrilled to have a successful VBAC, the thing that made the biggest difference in my birth experience was having a compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive advocate by side who knew me, my story, my concerns and my birth plan. 

I am honored to have the privilege of being able to bring that same support to other birthing people. As a birth and postpartum doula, I love supporting and guiding families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the transition in bringing baby(ies) home. I help educate families about options, provide questions to contemplate, and help empower birthers to make the decisions that best honor their own unique situation and desires. I believe tuning into our own innate wisdom is an essential and empowering part of the birth experience. In labor I will provide emotional support and help with physical comfort as well as work with the partner and birth team to create a compassionate and supportive atmosphere. 

After birth, in my postpartum work, I am passionate about nurturing new parents and offering support during the transition of adding a new baby to the family. I can help to process and honor the birth story, provide information and education around newborn care, help connect to resources, and help rally the new parents’ support network. I can be a listening ear, a pair of extra hands, help give some needed rest, or even cook a nourishing meal. I believe caring for the parents of new babies helps to create space to honor and savor this often challenging, but beautiful and fleeting time.

I have a Master’s of Education and was a teacher for 10 years before entering birth work. In my free time I am a health/nutrition nerd, enjoy cooking and baking nourishing food, growing food and flowers in my garden, yoga, hiking, outdoor adventures, Waldorf homeschooling two of my children, and spending quality time with my family.
