Bio

I am a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula with Childbirth International and a Birth and Bereavement Doula through StillBirthday. I am also a fully trained Birth Doula through DONA and a trained Breastfeeding Counselor currently completing certification requirements through Childbirth International. I am also a certified Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula and am delighted to serve hypobirthing clients. I am passionate about continuing education and further learning. I am also a Newborn Care Specialist (trained through Newborn Care Training Academy) and currently completing certification through Newborn Care International. I participate in many continuing education trainings and events each year, including training in peanut ball use, Spinning Babies techniques, and Rebozo use among others. I hold professional memberships with the Nashville Birth Collective, the Middle Tennessee HEART Birth Network, and the International Cesarian Awareness Network (ICAN). I am an active volunteer with the Nashville Volunteer Doula Program at Vanderbilt with the Vanderbilt Nurse Midwives and the Nashville Breastfeeding Coalition.
I am a homeschooling mother to three daughters, and have spent a cumulative total of 8 years breastfeeding my babies, in addition to 5 years of professional experience directing childcare programs that served children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. I am wife to a wonderful husband and kitty mom to one spoiled house cat. In addition to a passion for birth work, I also have a great love for the Lord and a strong faith that permeates my life. When I find a leisure moment, I can be found curled up with a cup of tea and a good book or crafting in my sewing room.
