Welcome!

I am so glad you found my page!

As a holistic doula birth keeper I believe it is imperative to develop a trusting and deep connection with each birthing family I work with, so, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little about me. I am a mother to a wonderful son, and daughter who was a preemie (that is her birth picture up top) who are my entire world. I am also a 2-time cancer survivor that won by battle through a natural approach, and huge positive life changes.

I feel very strongly about healthy nutrition, stress management, and all over balance and harmony through life, and especially pregnancy. I believe there are many ways we can foster an environment within you to have the best pregnancy and delivery yet. I also believe it is crucial to remove fear around birth as childbirth is not inherently a medical procedure nor is it inherently a medical emergency. I focus heavily on connecting with your baby during your pregnancy and following your intuition during pregnancy and birth. Baby led birthing is something I feel very strongly about, but if that is not something you are interested in we can work with whatever your style is.

Birth work is the most soul-fulfilling, genuine work I have done in my life. I am a bit of a goof ball, and have the ability to lighten up the mood in the room quickly. People feel very safe with me and are comfortable being vulnerable while with me, which I think makes me such a great doula. I have an infinitely strong passion for helping people and always have been pulled toward that line of work. People say they instantly feel comfortable with me and are able to open up to me quickly. Trust is key. I believe the bond I create with you is critical, so that you can feel as confident and comfortable during your birth experience, and as empowered as possible (because women are POWERFUL birthers.)

Before doing birth work, I was working a desk job, battling cancer for a second time, really realizing that I was not happy in my career and that it was time to pursue what I loved. I took the risk, I left the “secure” job, and I have never looked back!

For all expecting mommies, whether that be first-time moms, or a mom having her 4th or 5th child, my mission is to help you have the birth experience you want to have and support you in any way you need me to support you. I promise as your doula, if you are to choose me, that I will only be by your side, and I will be whatever support you need, whatever that means for you. I believe that we have the right to write our own birth story.

I am advanced neonatal resuscitation certified and have completed The Matrona’s Holistic Quantum Midwife program with Whapio. I also have an 8 hour Spinning Babies Certification.

I hope I get to meet you soon!
