I believe birth to be a beautiful, transformative experience to the women and families who walk through it. Created to walk through meaningful Becoming a mother opened something in me— a deep reverence for birth, and a desire to serve others through it.

I believe an empowered pregnancy and birth translates to an empowered motherhood. It is my mission to bring an evidence-based approach to mothers seeking support during their pregnancy and labor so that we may work together towards a holistic and informed birth. 

How I got here

My formal doula training is through Childbirth International, an accredited program that gave me a strong foundation in pregnancy, labor support, birth physiology, and postpartum care — including lactation support.

I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and have spent nearly a decade working as a registered nurse in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals. The experience gives me a deep understanding of how the medical system operates — both its strengths and limitations. Over time, I found myself increasingly disenchanted with the conventional approach to birth. I witnessed how often women’s voices were overlooked, and how little room there was for physiological, undisturbed birth without good support.

Now, as a birth doula and student midwife apprenticing toward licensure, I’ve found my calling in supporting families in a more personal, empowering way. After having two home births of my own while still working in the hospital, I carry insight from both worlds — and I use that perspective to guide and advocate for my clients with compassion, wisdom, and respect. I deeply align with women seeking to have a home birth or a physiological birth in the hospital.

The life that shapes me

When I’m not at a birth you can find me at home being mama to two wild, little boys. Parenthood has been the sweetest version of my life and I’m happy to do it alongside my guy. My family of four lives in the Eureka Springs, AR area which allows me a wide area of women to serve in Northwest Arkansas.

My favorite things include the month of October, boiling hot coffee in the morning, medium-rare steak, walking barefoot in the grass, staying up late to chat with my husband, and listening to my children laugh.

I like to think of myself as passionate, but down-to-Earth with an excellent sense of humor that kicks in right around the same time as those heavy contractions. Working as a doula, I have been lovingly duped as “your built-in best friend who happens to know a lot about birth” which I will gladly be for you.
