Birth is intimate, and it should feel like you are safe and allowed to be at your most vulnerable.
My role as your doula is to be a complete support person for you (the person giving birth) and your partner. Doula's help create the container, we help you cope with labor, we help include your partner in the birth experience, and we help you advocate when it comes to making choices. Your baby's birth is something that will stay with you for the rest of your life, so why not make it a fully supported experience?

I had felt quiet whispers for a while that I wanted to work in birth, and I eventually began my doula journey in 2021. I took the course offered through DONA International, which included segments on breastfeeding and newborn care in addition to labor and labor support. At the time I was living out in the mountains, so I traveled to Denver often with clients since there were no mountain birth services! Needless to say I learned a lot during those years. In 2023 I experienced a pregnancy loss of my own and decided to take a little break from attending births. I did get pregnant again and birthed a beautiful boy in September 2024. Now that he's older I'm jumping back into this world with more experience and enthusiasm!
I live in Golden, Colorado with my partner, our 2 year old, and our lab mutt, Bodhi. I enjoy staying active with hiking, snowboarding, yoga, and going to the gym. I enjoy thrifting, game or craft nights with friends, and live music. I feel really passionate about setting up families for a birth that they'll want to remember, so let me show up for you!
