“You can do anything for 60 seconds” is what was said to me in 2021 during the birth of my son. So much so that it’s something I hear frequently in my head when faced with something challenging. That was the impact that my doula had on me. I had no idea that I needed her and am so thankful that my husband told my midwife that we would like to use the on-call doula.

Despite my passion for healthy living and exercise, labor threw some curve balls at us that I truly would not have made it through without the care of my doula. Afterward, I was always telling everyone how amazing she was and how every one of my pregnant friends needed to hire a doula! Then, it clicked with me, after helping multiple friends cope with pregnancy and childbirth, that I should become a doula!

That started my CAPPA training and fast-forward a bit, here I am now with Gentle Childbirth Services. I never would have imagined that my passions would lead me here. My goal is to help you in having the birth that you desire and encourage you to see the strengths you didn’t realize existed. It is a dream and an honor to be able to assist mamas through the journey of pregnancy and birth.
