About me

When I was 13 years old, I had the chance to witness the birth of my cousin. I was moved to tears by the miracle I had been a small part of that day. A few years later, I was thrilled to be invited to the birth of my brother. By the time I was having my own children, birth was a passion of mine. I completed my DONA-approved doula training at the Simkin Center at Bastyr University, in Kenmore, Wash. I have been attending births since 2010, and have experience with home birth, water birth, birth center births, VBACs, hospital births, twins, premature babies, inductions, gestational diabetes as well as other complications of pregnancy, and surgical birth, both planned and unplanned.
In a nutshell, I'm honest and down to earth. I say what I think, and I am very enthusiastic about everything that I do. I love babies and pregnancy, families and birth. I truly care about each and every one of my clients. Whenever my phone rings with my special birth client ringtone, my heart jumps into my chest and I get really excited for whatever lies ahead. On a doula certification evaluation, a doctor once called me "a bit too euphoric" as if it was an insult. To me, that was the greatest and highest compliment he could have paid me. Considering that you will remember your child's birth for the rest of your life, the least I can do is try to make sure that the experience is worth treasuring.
