Member of the Capital City Doulas Collective
A group of professional Doulas and affiliates working together to provide support and education to pregnant women and their partners about pregnancy, child birth, and the postpartum period.
I've had the great fortune of being a stay-at-home mom to my one and only handsome son, and wife to my high school sweetheart.
I've soaked up every second in the 18 years of raising my son, including homeschooling until junior high. As he successfully continues his education, pursuing his passions in life and gaining his independence, I've been finding mine as well.
I'm completely obsessed with every aspect of birth.
When I'm not providing amazing care to moms and families, I'm continuing training, reading, attending workshops, online seminars and anything else I can find to further expand my knowledge. Helping me provide the best experience for you as this is my passion to which I am deeply devoted.
Connecting with moms and families on a personal level and meeting their needs is where I find one of my biggest joys in life.
