HOW IT STARTED
I’ve always loved…
everything about babies - their presence, their energy, and the beautiful transformation that comes with bringing them into the world. But my passion for supporting mothers truly began with my own journey to motherhood.
When I decided I was ready to start a family, I quickly learned it wouldn’t be the way I imagined. What I thought would be simple turned into a long, emotional road filled with loss, grief, and disappointment. I felt alone, wondering why it seemed so easy for everyone else.
By the time I was pregnant with my second, I began to explore what a doula really was—I had heard of them, but never truly understood their role. Looking back, I so badly wish I had known about doula support with my first. My labors were incredibly fast, and I didn’t feel prepared. I went straight to the hospital both times, unsure and overwhelmed, instead of feeling empowered and supported in a space that felt safe and familiar.
After giving birth, I struggled deeply with postpartum anxiety and felt lost in a sea of information—constantly turning to Google, desperate for answers and reassurance. I realized how many important parts of the postpartum experience were overlooked or brushed aside in the excitement of a new baby.
I knew that with my strong, grounded personality, I could show up for moms in a way that made them feel heard, understood, and supported—helping them lean into their feelings and advocate for the kind of birth and postpartum experience they truly want.
I’ve been in that dark, confusing place—and I’m here to help you avoid that same overwhelming path. You deserve support that’s honest, comforting, and empowering from someone who truly gets it. I’m here to walk beside you, every step of the way.
