Specialties
I am a Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator. I specialize in maternal mental health, birth trauma and past abuse. I help moms overcome difficult birth experiences so they no longer feel invalidated from their birth; so they can stop the cycle of self-blame and the flood of negative memories; and so they can accept their birth experience in order to better bond with their children and partner, live without shame and regret manifesting in anger and withdrawal, and find understanding and healing from their birth narrative.
History
Established in 2012.
Our stories are written not just from our own experiences, but by those around us as well. One of my reasons for becoming a birth doula and working with moms was because of my own birth experiences. However, my passion is working with moms who have already experienced a difficult or traumatic birth and helping them overcome that experience so they can move forward in writing their story as they want. Sometimes our stories can be hijacked by experiences beyond our control. With a little help and guidance, we can take back the pen and reshape our memories so that we can fully move forward in the present, looking forward to the future, without allowing the past to steal what's ahead.

Now, for a little bit about me. My husband and I have 5 beautiful children of our own. All of our kids were born at home, and our youngest was so excited to meet us that she arrived faster than the midwife! I have been working in the birthing world since 2012, and my passion to work with trauma survivors has developed throughout that time. When I'm not working with moms (or being a mom to my kids), I love to . . . you guessed it . . . read. My favorite place in the house is sitting by the fire with a cup of coffee and a good book in hand. My next favorite spot? Outside, running in the grass, playing barefoot with my family.
