I became a professional doula in 2015 after I was trained by Traci Weafer of Maternal Instincts Doula Services, a doula of over twenty years experience and an Evidence Based Birth Instructor. I am certified nationally with Stillbirthday, as a birth and bereavement doula. I also obtained my Rebozo Certification from Gena Kirby in 2015. I serve the people, families, and birthing community of North Idaho, Eastern Washington, and surrounding areas.
My clients are women and families who want a birth experience that is about more than pain and suffering. Our work is focused on physical, mental, and educational support in the pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences.
My first son’s birth in 2009 had no obvious complications, but I felt less than empowered with very little birth knowledge and experienced severe back labor. I was confined to a hospital bed and unable to work through the pain, resulting in an epidural. Two years later, I had a very different experience and gave birth to a nine pound baby boy without any pain medications. In 2014, I became pregnant with my daughter and chose the care of a midwife and two birth doulas. I gave birth to a posterior positioned baby, again with no pain medications. It was my third successful vaginal birth, and I felt empowered, loved, and supported.
I believe birth is an experience that can empower a woman, transform a family, affect a community, and makes a lasting difference in the world.
I believe birth is powerful and love to help women uncover the power they hold within themselves. I love to help birthing partners be more than just an observer in the process. Serving other women and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond has been a huge part of my entire adult life. I do not empower women; I’m simply am a mirror reflecting what is already within them.
