About me

I am a passionate birth doula who is dedicated to helping mothers feel heard and in control of their pregnancy and birth by finding trust, strength, and empowerment through listening to the intuition we all have as mothers. My personal experiences of having a C-section, a miscarriage, and a VBAC have all encouraged me to help educate and support other women throughout their own journeys. My goal is for mother and partner to feel supported through prenatal education and confident in trusting their combined intuition to make the best decisions for their family in this life changing moment.

Brooklynn was an exceptional advocate for helping me process a very positive time, with of course some very warranted anxiety. She had recommendations during birth to keep me calm & made sure to encourage me to use my voice whenever I felt I wasn't being heard. I knew with her support I always had a sounding board, positive reminders that our bodies are capable for this journey and genuine love for our growing family.
