When I became pregnant with my first child, I was enthralled by all things birth as I prepared for my daughter’s arrival. Throughout that pregnancy I gained so much knowledge and confidence that I was excited to go into labor. Giving birth was the most difficult and, at the same time, most empowering experience of my life! I thought, “If I can do that, I can do anything”!

When my daughter was only a few months old, I had a dear friend suggest that I look into becoming a doula (I truthfully didn’t even know what a birth doula was). As I learned about how doulas can support families and how to become one, I knew it was my calling to become a birth doula and support families in this way.

After becoming a Certified Birth Doula through DONA International, I wanted to gain more knowledge to better support mothers, so I became a Certified Body Ready Method® Professional. My Body Ready Method® (BRM®) training gave me a better understanding of the body to uniquely support my clients in having a more comfortable pregnancy, efficient birth, and faster postpartum recovery.

In addition to the physical support the BRM® training provided, I wanted to expand my services by becoming a Certified Childbirth Educator. I received certification through The Biblical Birth School and began teaching private in-home and group childbirth education classes.

It has been an absolute pleasure serving families as a birth doula and childbirth educator, and I’m honored to be in consideration for your birth team!
