I attended my first birth when I was only 17 through a program at my High School and I was instantly in awe. Since then I've attended several more births and am pursuing my Labor Doula Certification from DONA. 

My background is in non-profit management and teaching, but more recently I worked in the postpartum mental health field. After my own battle with postpartum anxiety I wanted to create access to preventative resources for all women. This is a passion of mine and something that sets me apart from other doulas. Yes, we will prepare for your birth. But in my opinion preparing for the "4th Trimester" is even more important, and we will make sure that you and those in your household feel confident and prepared. 

I reside in Northfield, MN, with my husband, two kids, and our cat, Maggie. I'm an introverted-extrovert and a Type 1 on the Enneagram. When I'm not running around with my kids I love to bake (I might have a cookie side-hustle), go for walks, and read (trading book recs is my favorite).
