From Teacher to Birth Worker Before birth work, I was a teacher. But everything shifted after having my own 4 beautiful children. They opened my eyes to how deeply mothers need support the kind I wish I’d had.

My Birth Story → My Passion My first birth was nothing like I wanted. It ended in an “emergency” c-section that, looking back, wasn’t truly an emergency. I kept thinking: If I had known more, or had someone like a doula by my side, maybe it would have been different.

That traumatic first experience became my turning point. It led me to 3 beautiful, natural VBACs. Those births healed me and ignited a passion: helping women come to birth with excitement and empowerment instead of fear.

Why I Do This Work I absolutely love watching clients experience that same joy holding their baby for the first time with that Wow, I did this. I am so strong” moment.

Every birth is unique. Whether you want an unmedicated birth, epidural, VBAC, or scheduled cesarean you deserve to feel supported, informed, and respected. My job is to help you make informed decisions, provide resources when the unknown pops up, and protect your space.

My Philosophy I want every client to feel like they have their very best friend in the room. We laugh, we connect, we get close. I’m not just there for your birth day. I truly love building lifelong friendships and doing motherhood alongside you.

I’d be honored to support you — Because you deserve to have a positive, empowering and beautiful Birth experience!
