I am so blessed myself be a mother of five wonderful children, two boys and three girls, ages 25-37, AND three beautiful grandchildren! ! My family is my true inspiration for pursuing my life as a Birth and Postpartum Doula. They have grown with me in my Doula career since 2000, and have been a wonderful support - they have been my 'doulas'! My decision to become a Doula came from the love of my own pregnancies and births. Prior to becoming a Doula, I had been involved in obstetrics as a medical secretary, family practice, my own daycare business and mothering, gaining strong knowledge in pregnancy, babies and family health. While raising my own children, I began networking with other mothers in my church and community encouraging each other throughout our daily encounters with our children and finding local resources to assist us as needed.

The Lord has prepared me for this role, to compassionately support expectant mothers and partners through their journey. Over the beginning years as a doula, I quickly realized that a main focus and effort is about the work I do prior to the birth. If you don’t know what your choices are, you don’t have any. Women are choosing to become more active in their healthcare role, knowledgeable in pregnancy and birthing-- their own advocates, so that their birth can be the experience they choose. I am truly blessed to be a part of your miraculous, joyous, blessed event.

Assisting families after the birth of their baby is another beautiful part of my Doula experience. As a "seasoned" Christian Mom and Postpartum Doula, it is an honor to share not only my educational knowledge, but also my life experience as a mother of five aiding with little tips, emotional support and both professional, practical advice and empowering a family to adjust and welcome their new baby.

I was blessed to also work with CNY Fertility in Syracuse as their Fertility & PreNatal Doula and would be happy to meet with you for consultation. **Fertility consults available to assist in your plans, goals and navigating through your own personal journey all the way to delivery**

**OFFERING BIRTH DOULA and VIRTUAL consulting. Often for various reasons, Moms may feel that they only need support in early labor at home. A consulting birth doula can add peace offering pros and cons of laboring choices, alternative for labor, stress relief for partner enhancing their ability to press in and help mom at their comfort level. Working with mom and her partner up until the time she is ready to go to her place of delivery, the added benefit of this type of support is evidently seen as mom can relax and get into her 'birthing zone' quicker, and creating a shorter hospital stay, and better postpartum outcomes. Mom may continue consulting as needed when arriving at hospital if chooses. Consulting birth doula package is offered with 1 postpartum visit including lactation support. if requested. Call me for more INFO.
