My passion for helping women with their birth experience started after the birth of my son.
After many unnecessary interventions during labor, which resulted in a c-section, I knew
that there had to be a better way, that something had to be done to help women through
what seemed to be so natural. I started researching everything I could get my hands on.
This was my calling, helping women and babies come into this world on their terms.
A woman carries her birth experience with her for the rest of her life, and I wanted to
make sure that she was armed and ready to make well informed decisions about her body
and her baby . My role as a birth doula is to honor and serve what a mother feels would
benefit her the most. I feel that my willingness to do this non-judgmentally still remains the
greatest service that I can provide my clients as a doula and as an educator. At my heart,
and in my practice, I strive to balance this priority with my own philosophies toward
birthing and parenting.
In October of 2010 I was blessed to give birth to our daughter Evangélina in our home.
Not only did I successfully have a VBAC, but naturally, and in my own house surrounded
by the people I loved and trusted.
