The Birth Buttress

Providing individual and group prenatal/postpartum yoga, birth doula, postpartum doula and lactation counseling services.

My work in Public Health for over 20 years has been varied and deep but has always focused on women's health. In one of my roles I gathered research on why our region has such high infant mortality rates. We focused on bringing preconception health and women's support services programming to Chattanooga. Before we started a family my husband and I decided to move to Bali, Indonesia and focus our time at a birthing center and health clinic called Bumi Sehat. Within the year of planning that transition I was pregnant and the decision to have our baby at Bumi Sehat was made. Living and working around the clinic for six months allowed me to see birth as I had also experienced it; empowering, transformative and natural. In subsequent years I became a registered yoga teacher, certified lactation counselor as well as a certified birth doula. I use all of my past education and experience to bring my work as a doula to my clients. It is an honor to support women and their families in their birth journey. Now with two sons our life is full and active. Personally, I love time with my family, all outdoor activities and time with friends. I am first and foremost a mom who very much desires to support other moms through their birth journey in whatever shape that takes. Outside of my family my loves include yoga, being in nature, plants and writing.
