I come from a family of six children where the two youngest, my sister and I, were born at home. My dad and I joke that it was my own birth at home ( I was born in caul!) that sparked my interest and love for pregnancy and childbirth! I grew up hearing about the difference between my mothers' hospital births, and then finally her peaceful home births, which thankfully taught me from a very young age that birth did not have to be a dreaded, traumatic experience no matter where or how you decided to give birth. 

My interest in Doula work began while I was pursuing a Biology degree at Belmont Abbey College in Charlotte, NC. After volunteering at Mira Via, a home for pregnant college students on my college campus, my desire to help young women navigate a healthy and joyful pregnancy began to grow. This desire only increased once I myself experienced how stressful and overwhelming it can be to be a young women receiving medical care alone in a hospital setting.

I then began my Birth Doula training and have been loving every moment of caring for and supporting women and families throughout their entire pregnancy. I especially have a passion for supporting women who have experienced a traumatic birth or suffered from a miscarriage, and hope to bring them some comfort and confidence in any future pregnancy and birth.

I incorporate and highly encourage my clients to use hypnobirthing preparation techniques, collect pain relief tools tailored to their very specific emotional and physical needs, and to include their spouse in every second of birth and postpartum preparation, whether that be in a hospital, home birth or birthing center.

I look forward to best supporting you and your family during this sacred and beautiful time and hope to make it the most joyful experience that you can be proud of for years to come.
