My Story
I’m a military spouse, mother of two, labor doula, and prenatal yoga teacher. I taught yoga and prenatal yoga during my pregnancies while I studied for my labor doula certification through MaternityWise Institute. After attending births for a year I decided to go back to school for nursing with the end goal of being a Certified Nurse Midwife. I wanted to bring my doula skills into more birth rooms and help even more women (and let insurance foot the bill). My family PCS’d from Hawaii (where we spent 6 years) to Fort Irwin, CA. While I am here I am offering my doula services on a volunteer basis / by donation.
My birth philosophy is to support YOUR wishes and help educate you so your wishes are informed and leave you feeling empowered no matter how your birth unfolds. I do enjoy natural births but I also hold space for women who have their reasons for wanting or needing medical interventions. If you do need medical intervention I am there to help support you through them. Inductions don’t always go smoothly and epidurals aren’t always flawless. I am there to help mitigate the risks involved and provide you with an overall better experience.
Think about it.... You could be zoned out on your phone, not even talking with your spouse, listening to beeping machines and hospital sterile smells and otherwise disconnected from your birth experience. OR you could be actively participating in your experience - yes, even on an epidural. As a doula, I can help provide useful feedback based on contraction patterns and behaviors, and information obtained from cervical checks (done by your nurse or doctor) to help make educated decisions on how to keep labor progressing. I follow “Spinning Babies” techniques, optimal fetal positioning, and appreciate birth support practitioner and author Penny Simkin. Healthy Baby, Empowered Mom, Happy Family are my goals for you.
