I am a community birth worker based in the Greater Chattanooga, TN area. I have been providing professional, community-based perinatal, postpartum, and lactation education and support since 2014. I have trained and/or been educated in multiple, complementary modalities to enhance and support the work I provide in the birthing communities that I am blessed to be apart of. Through my own pregnancies and birth experiences, in addition to the family's I have been blessed to support; I have diverse skillsets to enrich and prepare my clients for the birth experiences they envision. I myself have been blessed to be the mother of 7 and am married with a very supportive spouse. My entire adult life has been dedicated to being of service. Birthwork is a second career for me as I previously was a cosmetologist for 25 years prior to retiring in 2011. I am also a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces having honorably served 8 years in the U.S. Navy. When not working in the birth space I find enjoyment in spending quality time with family, traveling, outdoors activities, and crafting, and cooking. I enjoy research on topics centered around pregnancy and birth and it's complexities. I am a mentor to other birthworkers and apprenticing to become a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM aka "homebirth midwife").

I am an experienced, trained, and certified birth doula and an advocate for changing the birth narrative in our world. Overcoming the heartbreaking loss of my mom through childbirth, I faced my own fears through my three births. During those experiences, I uncovered profound strength, resilience, and courage beyond my wildest imagination. Birth invites us on a journey of self-empowerment. It would be my honor to be your guide as you courageously step into your own birth story, the same way I did.

I embarked on this beautiful journey in 2021 when I assisted a mama during her freebirth (the practice of women birthing their baby without medical or midwifery assistance.) Witnessing the police being called on her twice and other people trying to object to her BIRTH RIGHTS, I decided to become a certified Doula (a professional labor assistant who provides physical and emotional support to you and your partner during pregnancy) so that I may advocate for all birthing people and their partners.
