Each child brings a new light into this life and brings joy into a new family. A birth is a new beginning for all. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to empower women as they welcome their new baby into this world.

As a Certified Birth Doula, I enjoy spending time with new-to-be mothers and discovering their excitements and concerns. As we embark on the journey of birthing together, I provide encouragement and support for you and your partner to connect and experience all that arises. I will be with you from pregnancy to the birth and after. I am here to be your safety net, listen to your needs, and support your decisions. I guide you into poses that can help shift the baby. I advocate for your needs. I am here to care for you. You and the babies health are the #1 priority. I come with presence, experience, and wisdom to see your picture through the fog of your physical labor sensations. I am here for you!

About me: My mother was a Midwife, so I grew up with a child on each hip my whole life. I’ve attended births since I was 3 years old. I still remember my first time seeing the Placenta explained. I have been a nanny since I was 12 years old. As I grew older in life, I have cared for all ages from infants to 10 year olds. For a period of time, I was able to care for 7 children at once. Recently, I have been a Postpartum Doula for twin infants and assisted with night time feedings and shifts. I’m currently attending Midwifery School and am on the path to supporting women through the life changing experience of Labor.

Our paths in life all happen for a reason. My path has been to become a yoga instructor, a therapist, wholistic nutritionist, nanny, and energetic healer. Each of those roles has taught me how to hold space for people and to truly listen to their needs. Now as a Birth Doula I hold space for women and support them during the biggest transformation of their lives!

As a Postpartum Doula, I cherish every moment assisting a new mother and child in building a relationship together. As you begin to discover a new part of yourself, Motherhood, I will be there to provide a listening ear and encouraging words. I am here to help you ease into this new life. I provide breast feeding support and nourishing food (as a Holistic Nutritionist) as you build back your energy. Little ones tend to melt in my arms as I hold them with a calming presence. As you rest, you’ll know your baby is in safe hands.

When I’m not holding little ones in my arms or guiding women to breathe, I am a very active person. For fun, I do Acrobatic Yoga, where I am spun and lifted upside down and all around by another person. I love theatre and created and played in a theatrical dramatic clowntastic performance. I could cook for days, just don’t ask me to bake. Hiking, dancing, and traveling the world all bring warmth to my heart.
