My life’s work & passion is womanhood & birth! The sacred journey that women embark to become mothers and raise their children is one that deserves support and reverence. As a trained Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator, Reiki Practitioner, and Doula - my approach to birth & postpartum support is very unique & holistic, encompassing the mind, body, spirit.

My name is Allison and I am your Unconquered Mama. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful little girls. It was during my first pregnancy that I started to have a desire to get into birth work. I noticed right away that pregnant and postpartum Mamas needed much more support than they were getting. Immediately after my traumatic pregnancy and postpartum period with my youngest daughter I knew it was time for me to step into a new role; so I became a Doula and Breastfeeding Educator so that no other Mama would have to go through the struggles that I went through. I want to help every Mama feel the way I did when I broke through my struggles and emerged UNCONQUERED!
