Wife, mom, doula, and L&D nurse are all titles I claim. My passion for birth started in my own difficult journey to motherhood. The way that I describe my journey to becoming a doula and nurse, is ‘beauty from pain’. Through my loss and high-risk pregnancies I saw the beauty of supporting women through pregnancy and labor. After my oldest was born, I attended a DONA doula training workshop and began practicing as a doula. Several years later after my second child was born, I went back to school and became a L&D nurse.

As a trained doula and L&D nurse combined, I have had the privilege of supporting over 370 women in their journey to motherhood. I have experience supporting moms with high-risk pregnancies, VBAC, VBA2C, preterm labors, cesarean sections, multiples, unmedicated and medicated labors, and stillbirth. I am also trained in Spinning Babies, and am passionate about physiologic birth.

Birth is an incredible experience and women should be supported at every stage of their pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. I believe it is important to give birth where you feel the most supported and safe, and this looks different for everyone! I am there to support you whether that is at home, at a birth center, or at a hospital.

When I am not supporting a laboring mom, you can find me spending time outside with my family, baking, and drinking coffee.
