About Me

After dedicating 23 years to being a stay-at-home mom for my three children, I made a significant decision in November 2022 to channel my time and energy into pursuing my passion for becoming a labor and birth doula. Reflecting on my own four deliveries, I realized the immense value a doula could have provided by offering education, empowerment, and encouragement to advocate for myself. I chose the certification program aligned with my goals, completing 27 hours of in-person learning. Throughout 2023, I delved into extensive reading, writing, and research to enhance my knowledge and capabilities, culminating in my first doula experience at the end of the year.

Beyond my doula practice, I prioritize spending quality time with family and friends. My love for cooking and baking serves as a tangible expression of affection, and the sight of a bustling table brings me immense joy. Engaging in activities such as reading, attending movies, concerts, and theater performances captivates me, especially witnessing live expressions of talent.

Advocacy is a core value for me, and I actively participate in effecting change by writing to representatives weekly and joining protests and marches as opportunities arise.
