about me

I am a Birth Doula serving the East Central Indiana communities, 

near Anderson where I live with my family.

​

I am a Mom of four fantastic children, three which have already

arrived to adulthood and one close behind them. Each one of

my children came with their own unique birth story, thereby

creating the first catalyst to my journey into the doula world. The

other and just as important catalyst has been my passion for

holistic health, and a passion for all things living. These passions 

have been the driving force behind all the decisions I have made

coming into this very unique and beautiful world of women and birth. I

consider birth to be the true human epicenter of all things nurture and nature. 

​

What's to know? I am a Birth Doula, who loves God and all things life. I have a flare for all things natural and healing, but

I am not fully crunchy as crunchy is deemed today. Natural science is a thing and I love it, I use it, and I advocate for it.  I am also an advocate and a coach for women and sometimes men, who struggle with chronic illness, and mental fatigue.

It is a passion of mine to help others thrive. 

​

Loss is a journey I hold near and dear to my own heart. A pregnancy loss, child loss or a close familial loss near a birth cycle can be so difficult. My heart is to serve through this process. I do not shy away from the hard stuff. Wherever your birth journey takes you, I will walk beside you.

​

 I have completed my training as a Birth Doula, with Robin Elise Weiss/ Ph.D., MPH, BDT/AdvCD(DONA), CLC, LCCE, FACCE, through the DONA International Birth Doula programs.  My journey does not stop at doula-ing, my education continues in childbirth, maternal, and newborn care, and I look forward to serving you in that capacity as well. If you're curious about any of this, feel free to ask.

​

I can imagine you may have many more questions, and there are so many things yet to cover. Please, do feel free to reach out so we can chat!

  Your Doula,
