About me
Hi, I’m Alex! I’m here to educate, support, and empower you to get the birth you want! I currently reside in Arlington, WA with my husband and two children. In my spare time I love to read, explore the PNW, go to the zoo with my kids, and go on walks around our small town. Growing up I didn't know what I wanted to do for a career, but I knew I wanted to be a mom. I was enamored by labor + delivery and loved playing house. After my second birth at a birth center and learning about the world of birth with natural support, I was amazed by the experience I had. I knew I wanted to pursue a career in helping others have a similar experience.

How would you describe yourself?
My unique personality traits to help you decide if i'm the doula for you:
- I have a calm, joyful, positive personality. I will blend into your birth space while helping support in the way you need, without being overpowering.
- I am comfortable being an advocate in the birth room. In scenarios where you can't or don't want to speak for yourself, or your requests are not being honored - I can kindly and politely advocate for you.
- I am supportive! I will provide my support and not judge you for any decision you make. I will provide you with up to date, evidence based, non-biased information and will support you regardless of your decision. I will not provide my opinion unless requested. I am here to support you in the decisions you make for your baby and family. My support will help you be confident in those decisions.
