History
I have worked with expectant, laboring and new moms and their babies as a labor and delivery and postpartum nurse, group leader, and instructor for since 2004 and love it. I have insider knowledge that is helpful in planning for and supporting you with the kind of birth you want. I trust birth and know the value of having continuous nonmedical support during labor which is why I became a doula. I had two beautiful vaginal deliveries and breastfed my boys for years. At first, I struggled with breastfeeding my first son. I have been there. I am passionate about babies, pregnant and new moms, breastfeeding and birth and can help you in your motherhood journey. I strongly believe in the importance of having the information necessary to make truly informed decisions about your pregnancy, childbirth and feeding methods. I provide the help you need to make the decisions that are best for you and your family.
