Hi, I’m Crystal! I'm a Certified Birth Doula, as well as a postpartum doula and training in lactation. I'm also a homeschooling mom of four boys on a farm. Birth work is truly my passion and my own journey in motherhood has greatly influenced that. As your doula, my goal is to walk beside you with encouragement, compassion, and advocacy. I believe every woman deserves to feel confident, respected, and empowered during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I have additional training in VBAC and breech delivery. In addition to being a doula, I am a birth assistant with a local midwife. It is my honor to support your family whether that is in the hospital, at home, or in a birth center.

This package includes unlimited text support, two prenatal appointments, on-call support beginning at 38 weeks, complete labor and delivery support, and one postpartum visit.
Gentle, hands-on support for the early days at home. I offer nurturing postpartum care tailored to your family—newborn care, feeding support, light household help, and space for you to rest and recover. Whether you need reassurance, practical guidance, or a calm presence, I’m here to help you feel confident, supported, and not alone as you settle into life with your baby.
I offer gentle, personalized support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As your doula, I’m by your side with steady, compassionate care, holding space for your experience, supporting your choices, and helping you feel safe, confident, and truly cared for every step of the way. I also serve as a postpartum doula and am currently training as a lactation specialist, so I can continue to nurture you as you heal, bond with your baby, and find your rhythm in those tender early days.
Crystal was an amazing support and advocate for myself and my partner she took me on last minute, was incredibly patient with me while I sorted through what I wanted for my delivery and was incredibly valuable before, during and after labor. I believe she was a huge part in me having the best labor experience

Choosing Crystal to be our Doula was the best decision we made for our birth plan. She brought peace, humility and complete calm. Along with grace and patience.

Crystal was my first experience with a doula and attended my first natural birth experience, though my fifth pregnancy. She was amazing in providing me with any information I didn't have and though I'm an experienced mother, having a natural birth was new territory for me. She provided counter pressure for me when we were getting towards the end and really talked me through the hardest parts of labor and birth. She encouraged me to calm down and breathe in transition, when I felt I was panicking a little. It made a huge difference. She's not afraid to advocate for you and she made sure to know what was important to us before we gave birth. She was always available for me to contact her and I would highly recommend her.
