Why I am a Doula

I've wanted to be a doula since I was seven years old. Back then, I would ask family members—and any unsuspecting pregnant person I met—“When you have a baby, can I be there with you, please?”  

At age 17, I had the honor of witnessing birth for the first time, surrounded by her midwife, her husband, and me—a budding doula! From that moment, I knew exactly what I was meant to do.  

Prior to pursuing doula certification, I had the privilege of supporting friends and family on their most special days. And now, truly a dream come true, I have dedicated my life to this work. There is nothing I would rather do, and no where I would rather be, than with families as the prepare for and meet their children for the first time.

In preparation for my DONA International Certification I attended Childbirth Education and Doula Training as well as a rigorous curriculum of self-study through the use of books, videos, podcasts, peer-review journals, and much more. Paired with this study I am a huge advocate for introspection, therapy, and various means of self-care in order to be the grounded, unwavering support needed for birth. 

I am deeply grateful to my teachers and to the families I will meet, serve, and learn from on this journey!
