I am a DONA certified birth doula and mother of two.  I believe birth is a natural physiological process, and a sacred passage: for mother, parents, baby, and family.  I understand pregnancy and childbirth to be a deeply transformative time. As a Christian, I celebrate every baby born into the world as a unique and precious gift from God (Ephesians 2:10).       

My passion to become a birth doula grew from witnessing my nephew's birth and then having two boys of my own. Like many women, I was fearful of childbirth due to my limited understanding. Birth was rarely talked about by the women in my life and if it was, pain was typically the main subject. Watching my nephew’s birth showed me that birth can be beautiful.

After having two babies of my own, I decided to follow my dream of becoming a birth doula.

I believe that as women, our bodies were designed by God to birth well.  While complications do happen, they are not the rule.  Birth is a natural physiological process. It is hard work and can be uncomfortable or painful, but that is not all.  Birth is a transformative, life changing experience no matter how it happens: unmedicated or medicated, vaginal or cesarean, home birth, birth center, or hospital.    

It is my great honor to provide pregnancy and birth support to women and families so they can have their best possible birth experience!
