"Peace of Mind, Body, and Spirit through your pregnancy, birth, and beyond." I am a DONA-certified birth doula and post-partum doula.

I'm a certified HypnoBirthing labor companion, trained by one of the leading practitioners in the field. I'm also trained as a HypnoBabies doula. I hold a deep, inherent trust in women and their natural ability to give birth. My passion for pregnancy, birth, and parenting has been shaped through years of working with children and parents in various realms - becoming a birth and postpartum doula was a natural extension of my fascination for women, children, and families. I completely trust in the body's natural ability to do what it needs to do to bring a baby into the world. I also know the importance of trusting and communicating with the medical team involved. I have attended births with various degrees of intervention – non-medicated births, waterbirths, Hypno-births, planned and unplanned epidurals, and C-sections. I have completed two five-week HypnoBirthing courses, attended various childbirth ed classes, and taken numerous lactation support classes as well as have personal experience with breastfeeding. For the past four years my life has been filled with the world of pregnancy, birth, and babies! The day a woman's baby is born is one of the most memorable, important days of her life. It is my mission to help each birthing woman and family to be able to look back on that day and feel joy and satisfaction with their birth process. A birthing woman should feel empowered, protected, and nurtured during her birth and into the first few months of parenting. It is my promise to do my best in helping them achieve this. I live in St Paul with my husband and our three daughters.

"I’m four months postpartum.

Four months of breastfeeding one, sometimes two babies. Four months of feeling my core wobble and give way to backaches. Four months of watching this wrinkly pink baby fill out with rolls and soft, round cheeks. Four months of sheer exhaustion and middle of the night feedings. But I’m still so new, so raw.

My body is completely different than it was before babies, now twice over. I’m weaker in some places and stronger than I’ve ever been in others. I’ve pushed this body to the limit, to the place where it aches and screams for rest. I’ve nourished it some days and deprived it others. I’ve given it Lexapro to fight off the PPD that came for me again. I’ve heaved it heavily, sleepily out of bed for my crying babies. I’ve rocked it and bent it and contorted it to fit the shape of this new chapter of motherhood. But it’s still new. It’s postpartum. It’s healing. Slowly the pieces of me are coming back together in an entirely changed shape.

My belly button is caving in where I pierced it in youthful rebellion. The skin wrinkles like parchment paper where I try to button my mom jeans. My breasts inflate, engorge, deflate, sag, ache, spill, explode, leak, nourish, sustain life. My shoulders bend inward from the weight of love. My lips are often chapped from dehydration when I forget to pour myself water as I pour myself out to my babies. I’m not a martyr though, I’m a mother. I’m postpartum. I’m giving and giving and trying to find space for rest and self love and feeding myself and it’s impossibly hard and important and sacred work. I gave life from this scarred, ripped, creased, wrinkled, majestic and forever changed body and each day as my babies grow, so do I. Postpartum is hard and soft, painful and euphoric, lonely and full. Just like life, it’s dynamic. It’s okay to ache for your old life, former self, pre-baby body. It’s okay to feel a full spectrum of emotions about your new world. You can love your babies more than the stars in the sky and need a break.

Postpartum is such a tender time, be kind to yourself. It’s something I need to be reminded of, too."

Ohhhhh this is so sweet!

It’s just been us since you made me a mama.
My other half, my sweetest little friend.
Come here my baby, and be my only, for just one moment more.
This expanding will build us. Make us fuller I know.
But when I see you again, you won’t feel as little.
So just lay with me, let me rock you slow.
Let me thank you my baby, for being the best teacher a mama could know.

Many people don’t realize this— more common than gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and everything else that pregnant women are routinely screened for.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If you ever doubt your body’s greatness remember the things it has done. I still don’t fully believe it every time I see it because it is so damn spectacular. We. Are. Phenomenal.
