Bio

I am doula who provides birth and postpartum services to mothers and their families in southeastern Virginia. I am also a stay-at-home mother, sole owner of Beltane Birth Services, and a proud military spouse who understands the unique challenges and hardships that military families can be faced with when having a new baby. I began my journey as a doula in 2012 after the birth of my first child. Having struggled through years of infertility, my husband and I were thrilled to finally be in the delivery room. However, our child's birthday ended with her being rushed to the local Children's Hospital NICU, where she remained on a high-frequency ventilator for three weeks while I was left with substantial birth injuries to recover from. After our daughter was returned home healthy, I began dealing with my emotional and physical trauma. This path of healing and discovery has led me to find my true calling as a member of the birth community. I am currently certified through the Madriella Doula Network as a birth, postpartum, and professional doula as well as a certified Madriella childbirth educator. I feel truly blessed and honored to be on this path.
