Get to know your doula

  • I have been a doula since 2020 and have supported nearly 200 births.

  • I live in Oregon City with my 8-year-old son, our HUGE dog (Louie), and a bearded dragon (Draco).

  • I love hard and am passionate about my interests but have a very calm and level headed personality.

  • I enjoy the outdoors; camping, backpacking, spending time at the river. I take the month of August off-call so I can refill my cup with these activities.

  • I am a powerlifter and highland games athlete. Strength comes in handy when giving hours of hip squeezes during labor!

  • I will almost always have a coffee when you see me. I LOVE meeting clients at local coffee shops.

  • I have a house plant, sunglasses (a full rainbow of color options), and book addiction.

  • One of my all-time favorite things is a lazy fall morning on the couch with a fuzzy blanket, good book, and cup of coffee.

  • My favorite color is turquoise, favorite animal is a tie between an elephant and bear, favorite food is pad thai, favorite treat combo is chocolate and peanut butter.

My mission in birth work

I believe that birth is the most transformative process a person can go through. As your doula I want to help guide you through this messy, intense, raw, and beautiful experience. I want you to feel empowered through your pregnancy and birthing time by helping you keep your autonomy and agency.  I am passionate about education that has a focus on science and evidence-based information with a hint of woo-woo because birth is truly magical. I believe that education is an important tool to help inform your intuition so you can make the right choices for your family and situation. My biggest goal in birth is that my clients feel safe, loved, and connected (to themselves, their baby and their partner) during their birthing time.

I will also help support your partner as they navigate this new chapter of life; Leaning into the love and bond you already have for one another. It is my goal that you can feel confident and connected as you begin your parenting journey together. I am an expert in BIRTH. They are an expert in supporting and loving YOU.

I have experience working in and out of the hospital setting, medicated and unmedicated births, water birth, VBAC, twin deliveries, and caesarean births.
