I was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (Eh?). In 2002 our family relocated to Florida, where I met my other-half, Joshua. Three days after our wedding, we moved ourselves to Georgia with our 4 dogs... Yep, FOUR fur babies! (We have also recently adopted some chickens too!), but regardless of where in the world I have ended up living, I have continued to be a caregiver for nearly 20 years. Over the last few recent years, I really became inspired to direct my path more towards birth and postpartum support.
​
I am a Doula Training International (DTI) trained and certified pregnancy, birth & postpartum Doula as well as a trained Hypnobabies© Hypno-Doula (HCHD).
​
Every birth is special. Whether it takes place at the hospital or at home, vaginally or by cesarean, each is beautiful and deserving of celebration. No matter how you birth your baby, everyone can benefit from having a Doula present throughout pregnancy, the moment of birthing and beyond.
