My interest in childbirth first began, like many, with my own first pregnancy. Everything was textbook up until the very end when I was informed that the baby was presenting head up (breech). Ultimately, it ended in a c-section. In hindsight, I feel like this was an avoidable outcome. I wish I would have had an advocate with me for an outside perspective, but who also knew birth and all of its many components. This initiation into motherhood has been a catalyst for my passion to learn more about the art of childbirth ranging from preconception through postpartum. My second pregnancy, I had a doula and it made all the difference. I had a redeeming homebirth that included a successful VBAC. I felt heard, and supported along the way with someone to go to for questions or concerns. My goal is to do the same for other mothers and be a fervent advocate for you and your birthing journey. Ultimately, my heart is to lovingly serve families and help them achieve a birth outcome they feel good about.
