Our Story

Birth & Postpartum Doula Services

I am passionate about all things pregnancy, birth, and baby. The whole process of pregnancy and birth is exhilarating to me! Every time I witness the miracle of birth or have the blessing of holding a precious new baby, I can't help the feeling that heaven is near. Although my primary focus is on birth, I am also passionate about my work with postpartum mothers. My many years of experience can assist in helping new parents sort out some of their parenting choices and help them find the path that fits their family. My journey since becoming a mother has lead me to a season in life where I have a strong desire to serve others in their childbearing years; specifically before, during, and in the tender early weeks and months after birth.

I married my high school sweetheart and best friend in 1990. We have raised a wonderful family of 3 children, and now we have the blessing of our sweet grandchildren. I was able to be home with my children when they were young, while I owned/operated a licensed home daycare. I have been a childcare provider or professional nanny/doula for over 12 years, in which time I've cared for dozens of newborns and infants. After a long career in women's and family health, I began my education & training through DONA International and apprenticed through a mentorship at Harmony Doula Group. I am proud to be a certified birth doula through DONA International, the most recognized organization in the business.
