I am a DONA trained Birth Doula in Louisville, KY and am currently raising three kids, ages 14, 12, and 6, with my husband of 15 years in beautiful Shelby County. I became a Doula in June of 2018 and it is a true passion of mine. I have personally had both natural and medicated birth experiences and I support all births! I believe every birth journey is unique and that's the beauty of your story! After having a doula present for two of my babies, I quickly developed a passion and knew I wanted to be able to support others going through pregnancy and birth. I also know how challenging the Fourth Trimester can be and I l have such a heart to support moms in navigating through that postpartum season. I am also super passionate about educating families and empowering you to be an advocate for yourself. I offer in-home birth education, phone support, and consults for families who want the knowledge and prenatal support, but don't necessarily want the full doula labor and birth presence.

As a mother of two children under two, my journey into doula work was born from personal experience and a deep desire to support families through the transformative stages of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am passionate about guiding first-time parents through the joys and challenges of antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum care. Ensuring they feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way. Having both breastfed and formula-fed my own children, I understand that every feeding journey is unique. I provide compassionate lactation and feeding support tailored to your family’s needs, helping you navigate this important stage with confidence. Your birth preferences matter, and I am committed to advocating for your wishes while fostering a calm, low-stress environment. Whether you have a specific birth plan in mind or are still exploring your options, I will support you in making informed decisions that feel right for you and your baby. I am currently completing my DONA certification to ensure I provide the highest standard of care. By the end of the year, I will also be a fully certified Postpartum Doula and Lactation Counselor. Continuing to expand my knowledge to serve families with the utmost care. I would be honored to support you on this journey!
