About me

Welcome! I'm a seasoned mom of five living in mid Michigan, Certified ProDoula Labor Doula, soon to be certified Postpartum Doula with Lifespan Doulas, former La Leche League Leader, yoga teacher, mindfulness instructor, and creative coach. Between mothering and community care, my experience with all things parenting spans more than two decades. My practice focuses on supporting parents in identifying and living from their values, with accurate information, as well as growing through challenges skillfully. Depending on when we meet, that may start with pregnancy, birth and early parenting intentions - or it may include parenting through the teen years and other family transitions, and anything in between. My intention is to meet families where they are at, offering compassionate and constructive support for the journey. When I'm not working, my time is often spent with family, creating henna body art, knitting, enjoying our cats or studying to complete a trauma informed Master's in Social Work degree to eventually offer therapy for moms, families, youth and trauma survivors.

Service introduction

Parenting is amazing, and it can also be challenging. Compassionate support can make a significant difference. My service offerings include postpartum doula care, parent coaching, yoga, mindfulness instruction, and birth doula care when space allows. Virtual care available for some offerings. All services are trauma informed. Currently accept self pay, but will be working to accept Medicaid and Medicaid health plans. Self pay services are offered on a sliding scale with three possible rates: community, standard and sustaining. Please choose the rate that works for you, and message me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
