My Profile
Hello! I love people and I love helping people love themselves! I’ve been married to my husband, Stuart, since 1997. We have five biological and six adopted children we have been blessed to raise. We have also fostered many children over the years. My husband was in the Air Force so we moved around a decent amount. We have lived in Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, and now in Utah since December 2020. I grew up in Montana and was a nanny for a year in New Jersey after high school. I am a licensed cosmetologist and have appreciated that skill with a large family. I am a swim instructor and love watching people overcome their fears and develop new abilities. In addition to birth work, I enjoy having heartfelt conversations, traveling, going to the beach, hiking, refinishing furniture, photography, journaling, farm life, picnics, organizing, and snuggling with my children and hubby. I love Jesus and feeling His presence in my life.
With the pregnancy and birth of my first child, my passion for childbirth was ignited. I read as much as I could about the process and was determined to have the birth I felt was best for me. I had no doula and took no birthing classes (wish I would have), but my husband coached me through it and we triumphed with a completely unmedicated birth. After my natural birth I felt so euphoric and empowered and my confidence in life quadrupled. I felt there was nothing I couldn’t do if I set my mind to it. I wanted to share that feeling with everyone. And I still do. I organically fell into the role of doula for family and friends throughout the years. Just recently however, with my youngest starting school and us settling in one area, I decided the time was right for me to take my doula services to the next level. I’m excited to share in the experience of birth with many more women in a more consistent way. I am also a birth assistant and an aspiring midwife. I look forward to getting to know you better!
