My passion for helping others began in 2003 when I enlisted in the the US Army. After six year in the military I completed my time in service and went on to pursue a career in skin care; in 2009 became a licensed esthetician. In 2015 I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Health and Wellness with an emphasis in Nutrition from Kaplan University, I graduated Suma Cum Laude. My yoga training followed in 2015 in Rishikesh, India. Most recently in 2019 I have been enrolled with the Madriella Doula Network training to be a birthing and postpartum doula.

  • Childbirth Educator
  • Massage for the Laboring Woman
  • Madriella Breastfeeding Educator

​Why I became a Doula
When my son was born it was the most incredible moment in my entire life; my first thought when I pushed my baby out and felt his warm wet tiny little body on mine was "I did it! I'm so proud right now!" The fact that I had created life from itty bitty cells to an entire human body and birthed him vaginally with no medications or complications was, to me, a miracle. I then saw women as super heroes and goddesses of creation and life. After two years of raising my child and hearing my friends birth stories and many other stories of acquaintances,  I became very eager to hear more birth stories. The disappointing part was how many women retold their experience as a gloomy event. I gently remind these women how incredible they are for making a human and no matter how they birthed that child, they are still amazing for all that their body had to endure. After one impactful dream one night, I knew I had to add to my career repertoire... I just knew within my soul I needed to be a doula to guide women on one of the most indescribable journeys in life. For those who like privacy in labor and birth, I fully respect that, I actually didn't use a doula for my own son's birth, but I can still help. For those who will allow me to be alongside their journey, I will be truly honored and forever grateful if you should choose me to guide and support you through your pregnancy, labor, and birth. 
What I offer: 24/7 support. You can text, call, email, meet with me as much as you feel comfortable with. Most doulas meet with their clients 1-3 times before labor and delivery, well I am not most doulas, I'm a very supportive person and you are very much worth my time. 

My role as the doula: I am not one to take over for your partner (unless you have no partner), I am there to guide you both and instruct your partner on all that they may assist with. I am here to teach you both and not leave anyone out. I also support all races and LGBTQIA people. 

To be upfront I have no religious preference but I will respect and honor those who have a chosen faith and if requested I can use your faith to guide you. I like to educate myself on all religions but to choose one specific religion was never something I felt I needed to do since so many religions have many interesting facets that I can connect with. 

Areas from my education I can serve you best include: aromatherapy, acupressure or reflexology, herbalism, health and wellness, nutrition, positive wellbeing, pregnancy and labor stages, skincare, yoga instruction, hypno-birthing, pranayama (breathing) techniques, pain-management in labor and birthing, labor and birthing positions, infant aftercare, baby soothing techniques, and lactation support. 

I will support all types of birth choices and environments; I assist in home births, hospitals, and birth centers.
