I mean it when I say, I’m excited you’re here!
What’s my story? Well, I was deathly afraid of getting a needle put into my back, so I started reading all the birth books to find out how to best avoid getting a needle put in my back during childbirth. The rest… is history!
Ok, that was supposed to be funny, but really that’s how it all started for me. Then I gave birth to my daughter without pain medication, fell stupid in love with all things birth, and discovered what a doula was. Total light bulb moment!
*looks up doula certifications near me*In December 2019, I became a certified birth doula. Since then, I have also been certified in childbirth education and placenta encapsulation. I told you, total birth nerd! Through my experiences of working with families, my passion for education and empowering parents has really grown. My belief that the way we experience childbirth will change our lives is what ignites my commitment to empowering moms and dads through support and education.
My most frequently asked question in consultations with a prospective client is “What type of doula are you?” or “What’s your vibe?”. I never know if my answer is enough, but it is honest. “I’m literally whatever you need me to be.” Calm and assertive? You got it! Quiet and almost invisible? I can do that. Remind your partner over and over to rub your back? 100% here for it, mama! “Well, I think I’ll be fine, it's really my husband who’s going to need you.” I say, “Doula are for Dads, too”!
