Meet the Owner
Founder
l knew I wanted to be a mother from a young age. Growing up in the Midwest, it was something that you just did - high school, college, marriage, and baby (though most didn't do it in that order!). When my husband and I decided we were ready to start trying, I struggled to get pregnant like SO many others. Thankfully, I conceived after 2ish years with no IUI or IVF.
In those two years, I was determined to be the most prepared first time mom ever. I spent hours researching, learning, and finding information. I started a baby registry with the best products that new moms simply can't live without (guess what, you can!). The longer I saw a negative pregnancy test, the harder I studied.
Over the course of two years, I realized how hard it was to find good, reliable information that didn't come from a blog post. I also realized how much I didn't know about pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. I stumbled across a birth and postpartum doula and thought, "oh, that would be fun" but never seriously looked into it.
Fast forward to September 2022 when I was half way through my first trimester and relocating 600 miles to NY where I only knew my in-laws. My village, my tribe, was gone. I knew I needed one person that was going to be consistent throughout my pregnancy and birthing journey. So I hired a birth doula. Zero regrets. I learned so much from her and loved that I had someone to support me and validate me. After I had my little man, I decided it was time for me to seriously consider becoming a doula with a focus on educating others.
My ultimate goal is to provide education and support to new parents, so they can make informed decisions and have the most empowering birthing experience possible.
