About me

I'm a mom of 3 with a set of twins! In 2019 I decided that I wanted to try and get into something that I thought would be a side job or just another certificate to put on the wall, not knowing that one day would change my life forever. I became a Certified Postpartum Doula in 2020 and started ABCS. I did independent contracting to get experience. A couple of months after that, I found out that I was pregnant with twins. I had a pretty tough pregnancy. Physically I was fine, but emotionally, this was probably my hardest pregnancy of the two. I felt like something was missing. Like I didn’t have much time for myself. I felt like I had neglected everything because I was exhausted. While on maternity leave, it then dawned on me - I need to invest in my passion. I first became a Certified Postpartum Placenta Specialist. Soon after, I became a Certified Childbirth Educator and a Certified Labor Doula. Now I'm in school to become a Certified Nurse Midwife!
