About your doula

Birth has taught me that there are only two emotions that drive people: Fear & Love. Unfortunately, in America, our birth industry is centered around fear. I am here to bring our roots back to love. I love helping mothers be fearless.​

Howdy! I am a Texas native, married to a South Dakotan with two beautiful 14 month apart babies. I am a jack of many trades, but to keep it relevant, I started my career world as a U.S. Naval Officer, wandered over to Spain to be a teacher, worked in Health Insurance with Aflac for a bit, and ended in the Montessori world as a certified Early Childhood Lead Guide in the classroom. I am a leader at heart and love children. 

 

I chose to get my doula certification after studying how important physiology is to birth and used that knowledge to give birth naturally twice. After going from pushing for almost 3 hours with my first to literally 2 pushes for my second and seeing the wild difference in healing time for myself, I knew I had to help other women. I did so much research through both pregnancies to help myself give birth naturally and am super excited to offer one of the best resources I had for my second birth:
