My Mother's strength and independence is what drove me into the world of women supporting other women. My father died when I was 10 and she raised my 3 brothers and me to have, above all else, compassion and integrity. She taught us to always give back to our community. With 4 kids in tow she would find the time and energy to continuously volunteer for our church and neighborhood, servicing those who needed help the most, even when others might assume it was our family needing the support. Her selflessness and service has without a doubt influenced the foundation for my entire career as a doula.
I became a doula in 2014 through DONA International under the guidance of Bini Birth and Ana Paula Markel. I have since supported over 500 families with my birth and parenting services over the past decade. My expertise is in birth, pregnant people, postpartum life, feeding babies in all ways at all the ages, cloth diapering, baby wearing, pumping schedules for home and work, baby schedules and sleep tips, doing hard things while pregnant, holding all of my children at the same time, teaching your partner how to set up a birthing pool in the living room, having an mood-perfect playlist at the ready, and snacks. I'm queen of the snacks.
