My Bio
I am a highly experienced and compassionate Birth Doula with a diverse background in family advocacy, early childhood development, and child life. My journey into the world of doula work was inspired by my own unique birth experiences and an extensive background in caring for children.
I am a DONA International-certified Birth Doula, which indicates my commitment to professional training and ethical standards in the field of doula support. I have over three decades of experience in family advocacy, which has undoubtedly given me a deep understanding of the needs and challenges faced by expectant families.
My own experiences during four pregnancies and births, as well as years of nannying, have made me a valuable resource for friends and clients. I have firsthand knowledge of pregnancy and birth which allows me to provide not only emotional support but also practical advice and comfort.
The extensive experience that I have with newborns, preemies, and micro-preemies is particularly valuable, as it equipped me with the skills and knowledge needed to support families during the critical postpartum period.
I have supported a wide range of birth experiences, from birth centers to hospitals and water births to cesarean births, including both unmedicated and medicated options. My experience with twin births, VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) births, reflects my commitment to assist in all types of birthing experiences.
My goal is to empower the birthing person to make informed decisions about their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. I provide emotional and physical support and encourage women to trust their instincts while providing them with the necessary knowledge.
I understand the importance of including and valuing the partner as part of the birthing team which fosters a supportive and cohesive environment during the birthing process.
Originally from Mississippi, I now reside in Berthoud, Colorado, with my husband and four children. Our active lifestyle and interests, such as skiing, camping, supporting our children in their sporting events, and dancing to live music reflect our well-rounded approach to life.
