Trainings/Certifications:  DONA Certified Birth Doula,
Lactation Training




Bio:  I am a stay at home mom that has a passion for pregnancy and mothers of
infants/preschoolers. My first peek into childbirth came when I was 16 years old and then again
at 18 when I attended my sister’s deliveries of my nephews.  I was intrigued and cried at the
miracle of life.  I began attending births soon after the birth of my second child but did not
actively begin my official doula training until 2006.  I have since been certified through DONA
(Doulas of North America). I have served a variety of clients including; first time moms, vaginal
births after cesareans (VBAC), twins, post-date pregnancy, teens, 40+ and planned unavoidable
cesareans.   I have worked with moms using several birthing techniques including Bradley,
Hypnobirthing, Hypnobabies, Lamaze and others.

It is my honor and pleasure to support women through their empowering rite of passage into
motherhood.  Becoming a doula is an answer to my calling where I give women comfort and
support that they deserve during pregnancy, labor and delivery.  I feel very blessed to be doing
what I love.

Philosophy: Every birth experience is unique, beautiful and unpredictable.   As an educated
advocate I can help the couple to make informed choices and become active birth participants.  I
consider myself part of a team with the others who are attending the birth, working together for
the goals that the laboring mom has set forth.  This includes knowing and understanding her
desires in her birth plan and helping her to make informed decisions when needed.  I work
closely with husbands/partners to help them be effectively involved while still keeping in mind
their comfort level.
