I believe learning never stops. I am passionate about continuing my education through professional training, nursing school, hands-on experience, and evidence-based research so I can provide families with knowledgeable, compassionate, and individualized care.

My goal is to combine education, experience, and a heart of service to support families with confidence, kindness, and intentional care throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

What Brought Me to Birth Work

My journey into birth work began long before I became a mother myself. As a little girl, I found myself captivated by birth stories and inspired by the incredible women around me bringing their babies into the world. Even then, I knew birth work was where my heart belonged.

I have always been amazed by the beauty of pregnancy, birth, and the miracle of new life. There is no doubt that Jesus has shaped the way I view this calling not only as a profession, but as an opportunity to serve families during one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives.

Becoming a mother to Taytum (2022) and Baylor (2025) only deepened that calling. My children’s birth-days are some of the most meaningful and transformative days of my life, and they reaffirmed everything I had always believed that every family deserves to feel informed, supported, respected, and deeply cared for throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey.

By the Grace of God, we are excited to be welcoming baby #3 in January 2027. Growing my own family has continued to deepen my understanding of the hopes, fears, emotions, and joys that come with welcoming a new baby.

Why I Do This Work

I became a doula because I believe no family should enter parenthood feeling alone, unheard, or uncertain.

Birth and postpartum can be empowering, unpredictable, beautiful, challenging, and everything in between. My role is to help families feel prepared for the many possibilities while reminding them of their own strength throughout the process.

I believe every birth story matters. Every family deserves compassionate support, evidence-based information, and a birth team that honors their choices, values, and experiences.

My faith calls me to serve others with a heart of compassion, grace, and love. Being invited into a family’s birth space is one of the greatest privileges I could receive. I never forget that I am witnessing a moment that will become part of their lifelong story.

What I Bring to Your Birth & Postpartum Journey

Families often describe my support style as calm, nurturing, reassuring, and encouraging. I strive to create a peaceful presence while helping families feel safe, informed, and confident every step of the way.

Whether supporting a birth or postpartum transition, my goal is to meet each family exactly where they are while offering personalized care that reflects their unique goals, values, needs, and beliefs.

Some of the ways I support families include:

• Hands-on comfort measures including acupressure massage, counter pressure, birth swing support, guided breath-work and visualizations, hip squeezes, labor positioning, movement, and more
• Continuous emotional reassurance and unwavering support throughout labor
• Partner education and guidance so partners feel confident, prepared, and involved
• Evidence-based information to help families make informed decisions during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
• Newborn care education and postpartum guidance
• Breastfeeding support and education
• Infant and pediatric sleep education
• Support for families with multiples and unique postpartum needs
• Compassionate guidance for families navigating NICU experiences and unexpected newborn journeys

A Little About Me

Outside of birth work, I am married to my husband Mason and we are proud parents of two (almost 3!) beautiful children, Taytum and Baylor, who inspire me every day. Taytum will be four years old in December 2026, and Baylor celebrated his first birthday in summer 2026. We are also preparing to welcome baby #3 in January 2027. We have 2 golden retrievers, Sadie and Charlie

Motherhood has strengthened my love for supporting growing families and continually reminds me of the incredible resilience, strength, and beauty of women.

I love spending time with my family, traveling, baking, gardening in my backyard, working on home projects in our first home as homeowners, and making memories with the people I love.

I am continuing my education and pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Nightingale College, allowing me to expand my knowledge and bring even more evidence-based care to the families I serve. Someday soon, I hope to serve families in Labor and Delivery or the NICU as a nurse. But always and forever a doula, of course! 

One Thing I Want Families to Know

If there’s one thing I want every family to know, it’s this: you will never have to walk this journey alone.

My role is never to replace your instincts, but to help you trust them. I will meet you with compassion, without judgment, and with wholehearted support through every high, every challenge, and every beautiful moment in between.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you write your own birth story and welcome your newest little love into the world.
