About Haley

I know firsthand how invaluable doula support is. As an RN, I thought I was well-prepared for childbirth. At the urging of my midwife, I sought doula support for the birth of my 1st baby. My doula’s physical & emotional presence during a long labor & strenuous delivery was crucial, & I left the experience convinced that a doula should be present at every birth. Soon my friends began to come to me for birthing support, & I attended births as a friend & advocate. I fell in love with birth work & completed doula training with ToLabor in April 2020. I help my clients navigate their options to make informed decisions that work well for their family & their goals. I want to make sure you are seen & heard. I love walking alongside families, encouraging & educating them along the way. With 7 years of hospital nursing experience, I understand the ins & outs of the hospital system. As a mom of 3, I know the transition into parenthood is no small thing—I want to be a part of your village!
