Welcome! I'm a seasoned mom of five living in mid Michigan, Certified ProDoula Labor Doula, soon to be certified Postpartum Doula with Lifespan Doulas, former La Leche League Leader, yoga teacher, mindfulness instructor, and creative coach. Between mothering and community care, my experience with all things parenting spans more than two decades.
My practice focuses on supporting parents in identifying and living from their values, with accurate information, as well as growing through challenges skillfully. Depending on when we meet, that may start with pregnancy, birth and early parenting intentions - or it may include parenting through the teen years and other family transitions, and anything in between. My intention is to meet families where they are at, offering compassionate and constructive support for the journey.
When I'm not working, my time is often spent with family, creating henna body art, knitting, enjoying our cats or studying to complete a trauma informed Master's in Social Work degree to eventually offer therapy for moms, families, youth and trauma survivors.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Postpartum Doula?
Postpartum Doulas provide information, emotional support and physical support during the first year after a baby is born. While our scope of practice is specific to these three areas of support, each doula decides what this looks like in practice with the families they serve. Sometimes a visit may be focused on listening and sharing information about topics related to breastfeeding or infant care. Another time it may include helping with some dishes, laundry or caring for the baby while a parent naps. Doulas do not provide medical advice, but we do share our hearts with those we serve to support healthy growth in tender times.
