Hi, welcome to Love Bean Doula! I'm originally from the Chicagoland area, and moved to Iowa in 1996. My husband and I have 3 sons, 1 daughter, 1 grandson and a zoo of pets. I have always been fascinated by all aspects of birth. The beauty of what a woman’s body can do naturally, the pain a woman can endure, the strength that is shown throughout each stage of pregnancy, labor/delivery, and the awesome miracle that birth is. I recognize that each birth, each baby, and each birthing person are proudly unique in their own way, and every pregnancy is deserving of compassionate support. My goal is to help you feel informed, empowered, and connected to your birth experience. I’m committed to holding space for you and your feelings, to helping you overcome fears you may have surrounding pregnancy and childbirth, and replacing them with confidence, calm, and readiness.
