As a mother of four,
and a DONA certified birth doula, I am truly fascinated with
the miracle of pregnancy, and the beauty in birth.
After an unsatisfying
labor and birth with my first child, I became motivated to
surround myself with knowledge and support to enhance my
next three pregnancies.

My following births were all very much different, but I was happy with
the outcome of each.
Soon after the birth of my
first child, I knew that I was meant to support women through their
birth experiences. So, from the time I was seventeen, I have been
working with women throughout their pregnancies, labor, and birth.
I have considerable experience
with many different types of births including; natural deliveries,
medicated deliveries, inductions, cesareans, and water births. I
also have experience working with clients who have a history of
abuse, and teen mothers. I have successfully breast fed my babies
and have extensive knowledge on overcoming the challenges along with
the many rewards of breastfeeding.
I have no particular belief of
how each woman's labor and birth should be. I have an open heart and
an open mind. I believe that women are capable of listening to their
bodies and responding appropriately. I encourage partners to
participate to the fullest extent of their comfort level. I am not
only a doula for the mother to be, but also for their partners.
Labor and birth is a very intimate time for you and your partner,
and I want to enhance that birthing experience for the both of you.
I really feel that I found my
calling when I became a doula. It is such an amazing moment in a
woman's life. It is such an honor to support such powerful women.
