ABOUT ME

Before pursuing the doula life, I was a physical therapy assistant. I loved working with people to help improve their quality of life. When my husband and I decided to grow our family, I became immersed in all topics involving pregnancy, labor, and birth.

Since going through my own pregnancy journey, I continued to have the thirst to learn all I can about pregnancy, labor, and birth. I have learned the importance of being given true informed decisions and to be respected when giving informed consent or decline. I have the desire to assist other mamas and families to decrease their fears around birth by empowering them with knowledge and providing physical and emotional support.

My Life Today

I have been a wife for over a decade and a mother of two daughters for over four years. I enjoy the fresh air and sunshine of the outdoors. I just love how it automatically lifts my mood. My daughters also express great excitement for nature, which makes my heart happy. We love to seek out new walking paths and parks for us to explore. When my husband and I can make time, we like to enjoy live music, put together puzzles, and play board and card games, such as Sushi-Go and Ticket to Ride.

I also enjoy cooking and baking from scratch. I believe that it is important to know what is in your food and where it comes from. Ten years ago or even five years ago, I never thought I would be down the path I am now. Every year, I keep refining my outlook on lifestyle choices. I love to look for alternatives to have a more natural approach to my family's choices to encourage a long-lasting, healthy lifestyle.

Along with my self-driven learning through books and courses, I have completed the following training. I plan to continue to grow in order to strengthen my knowledge and improve my skills. I look forward to offering more services and better support in the future.
