Trainings/Certifications: CAPPA trained Labor Doula
Bio: Congratulations on your pregnancy!!! The first thing
you need to know is that I am all about you and your baby.
My birth philosophy is to help you have the best possible
birth as YOU define it. As you embrace your pregnancy and
eagerly await the arrival of your baby you are going to feel
many emotions and have many visions about what will
happen during your birth. I want your birth story to be
peaceful, happy and a memory that you will love to share for years to come. I will help take away the fear of
childbirth and work with you to channel your thoughts, energy and strength into a peaceful beginning for your
baby. I am here to be your voice for advocating to your partner, family, nursing staff, hospital and anyone else
about your opinions and preferences for your birth. Throughout your birth process I will take on Your vision and
Your goals for your birth as my own and help you live them out. I will provide you with continuous support from
the earliest signs of labor until your beautiful baby is wrapped safely in your arms. I will stay by your side until
the baby is born, helping you in all the ways that you define you need support. In all the ways you need support
that you are unaware of now, I will just be there understanding and comforting you all the way through the birth.
Women helping women give birth is an ancient practice that still continues today and I would love to be your
Doula.
Philosophy: When my parents raised me to follow my dreams, I did so quite literally. Since childhood I have
had a keen interest in all things maternal frequently dreaming of pregnancy and birth. About 5 years ago, I
made a list of all the things that I wanted to see and do in my life. Staring back at me from my bucket list was “be
with a woman while she gives birth.” I shocked myself with that one! I realized that dream a few years ago while
facilitating the birth experience of my dear friends’ first child. The ecstatic moment of their son’s first breath
convinced me of my calling to be a Doula. I love chai lattes, flip flops, long hair, playing and coaching soccer,
long runs when its not too hot or too cold, camping and bonfires, poetry, dancing, smiling, playing with my dogs,
positive energy, sushi, recycling, waterfalls, writing in my journal, hot yoga, talking, massaging, throwing pottery,
giving every piece of my time and energy that I have to spare away, serving God and loving people.
