Awaken Your Intuition Through Nurturing, Evidence-Based Doula Support
Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, you deserve support that is grounded, compassionate, and tailored to you. As a birth and postpartum Doula and registered massage therapist, I offer holistic, evidence-based care from pregnancy through postpartum—so you can feel confident, calm, and deeply supported every step of the way.
My Doula Philosophy
Rooted in Tradition. Guided by Experience. Grounded in Care.
I grew up in a small town where birth wasn’t something women feared—it was something they trusted. It was just a natural part of life. The women I knew didn’t stress about how far the hospital was or whether they’d “make it” with enough time. They birthed with strength, instinct, and deep inner knowing. I come from a long line of beautiful birthing women—my own mother gave birth to seven children, all vaginally and without drugs. That legacy lives in me, and I carry it into every birth space that I enter.
For over 20 years, I’ve walked beside women and birthing people as a Certified Birth Doula through DONA International (CD(DONA)), offering steady, intuitive, evidence-based support. I’ve had the profound honor of attending over 1,000 births—each one unique, each one sacred.
My entire career—spanning massage therapy, childbirth education, lactation counseling, and doula care—has been rooted in a simple but powerful mission: to care for women.
Birth is not just clinical. It’s emotional. Spiritual. Transformational. You deserve someone who knows how to hold space for all of it. Someone who listens deeply, supports gently, and advocates fiercely.
This is the heart of my work:
To walk with you.
To honor your strength.
To nurture your experience—whatever it looks like.
