My Philosophy
Birth is an ancient and sacred rite of passage into motherhood. As such, I have great respect for the power and wisdom of the female body. The tools needed for birth reside within us already and I work to help womxn develop the deep sense of self-trust needed to access those tools. Womxn who are well supported and respected during birth report a greater sense of maternal satisfaction and confidence. I provide each of my clients with non-judgmental support for the birth she/they envisions, so that womxn and families can bring babies into this world with confidence, beauty, and love.
My Story
After graduating with a BA in Health Communication at UNC Charlotte, I still felt unsure of the path I was meant to take. I pursued my passion for travel and moved to Australia for a year, where I worked as an au pair, a Home Health Aide, and a Housekeeper at a yoga retreat center. I then relocated to New York City for a year where I worked as a Nanny & Personal Assistant. My love of working with children and families developed when I, too, was a child babysitting the children of my mother's friends. My enjoyment has developed into a passion through the time spent with various families. I consider it one of my strengths to be able to find 'family' wherever I go.
​
I like to pursue world travel, to read novels, and to spend time with my fur baby and my own family. I use my free time to practice yoga, cook, garden, and to be barefoot in nature. Linearity is an idea that I've always resisted. I consider myself to be a dreamer, an adventure seeker, a wanderer, and a go-getter. I have backpacked around Europe, skydived in New Zealand, hiked a volcano in Bali, and scuba dived in Australia. In retrospect, though, I believe every event and every job pointed me straight to my current work as a Doula. Meeting womxn from around the world and coming to understand their perspectives on birth and children affirms that it is my heart's calling and a beautiful way to connect with others.
