I am dedicated to supporting women in any facet of life. Encouraging, empowering, and guiding through classes, one on one consultations, pre and postnatal, and virtual etc. My career in this field stems from the need for woman to have research-based evidence with empathy taught to them. Birth, breastfeeding, and parenting are the most powerful parts of a woman's life. As a doula, lactation consultant, teacher, and yoga instructor I am able to connect with women and guide them through uncharted territory. In my spare time I am a wife, mother of 7, grandmother of 10, herbalist, avid reader, nature lover, and wandering soul.
My passion for helping families transition into parenthood started when I was a teen and babysitting all the newborns. It was easy to see even then that motherhood was a hard job, and someone needed to help. Becoming a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula was a journey I took seriously to make my dreams come true, but experiencing pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, and motherhood helped round out my role. “Unless you’ve had a child, you can’t possibly understand!”
