Founder, Birth Doula & Childbirth Educator

Hey there!

From a young age, I've always had this natural inclination to take care of and support others. I think being the oldest of six kids played a big role in that. It gave me a unique perspective on family dynamics and the challenges of parenthood, both as a daughter, sister, and friend. But it was a transformative moment when I was 14 and got to witness the birth of my second brother via cesarean section. That's when I knew I wanted to pursue a career in this field.

Becoming a doula was kind of a happy accident for me. Before diving into doula work, I worked as a certified nursing assistant in a hospital. It was there that I started asking questions about evidence-based practices, education, and support during the postpartum period. Those questions led me to research doulas, and I couldn't pass up the chance to do a 36-hour in-person training. Little did I know that training would lead me to where I am today, fully immersed in doula work.

Outside of my doula world, I have the best companion in an adorable 12-year-old pit bull named Sadie. She's such a sweetheart and has this amazing nurturing nature. I'm also happily married, and eagerly anticipating the arrival of our first little miracle.

I love Minnesota's seasons, especially summer and fall. There's something so special about them. When I'm not supporting expectant families, you'll find me out in nature, taking care of pollinator and vegetable gardens or going on outdoor adventures like camping and kayaking.

I'm also a big fan of traveling. Exploring new places and cultures is so enriching. It's amazing how much inspiration can come from those experiences, whether they're international or domestic. And on a lighter note, I have a few guilty pleasures like coffee, craft breweries, fine wine, mouthwatering desserts, and I've got this unexpected talent with an axe - axe throwing is just one of those things that adds a little extra spice to life.
