My Own Experience
I have always been inspired by the strength of women and the miracle of birth. After delivering my children, I realized that a what would have mattered most would have been continuous support from pregnancy to postpartum. This is why I became a professional Doula and am proud to serve women and families throughout the Triangle area in North Carolina as well as through out the country.
Every woman deserves to have someone there to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, and remind them that they can trust the strength of their bodies during this time. After having triplets, there was so much knowledge I developed. Adding that to professional doula trainings, being a subject matter expert, and continuous education means I am uniquely qualified to serve your family. I’m here to provide unbiased information and emotional support. Please get in touch to find out more.
