My Story

My love for pregnancy, birth, and babies has been woven throughout my life for as long as I can remember.

For more than 25 years, birth work has been part of my story—as a childbirth educator, doula, and midwifery student. Today, I have the privilege of bringing those years of experience to families here in Middle Tennessee.

A Little about me

A Little about me

I think I’ve been fascinated with babies and pregnant bellies for as long as I can remember. But it wasn’t until I was a newly pregnant mama sitting in my first childbirth class that something clicked. I knew I was created for birth work. I soon became a certified childbirth educator and began attending the births of my clients, all while raising my own growing family. I loved the work and found such fulfillment in watching couples prepare together and then experience the incredible moment of welcoming their baby. After years of supporting families through birth, I felt a pull toward midwifery. I spent four years training under more than five midwives in California, gaining invaluable hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of physiological birth. Then life took an unexpected turn. Covid changed my plans, and our family moved to Tennessee. The door to midwifery closed—at least for now—but my love for birth work never did. Today, I’ve poured that experience back into childbirth education and doula support. I love helping couples understand how birth works, replace fear with knowledge and confidence, trust their God-given intuition, and prepare to welcome their baby together. I’ve been married to my amazing husband for 30 years, and we have four young adult children. I love to travel, cook, try new things, and share a meal with family and friends. Birth work has been woven through so much of my life, and it is still an incredible privilege every time a family invites me into their story.

My Philosophy

Surrender Not Fear

I believe women are designed brilliantly to birth. My approach is grounded in both faith and evidence—an understanding of normal physiological birth and a deep respect for the wisdom of women and their ability to trust the process of birth. I also believe birth is a sacred, God-designed process. I want to help women understand how birth works, trust their bodies, connect with their God-given intuition, and approach birth with confidence rather than fear.

Midwifery training

Over the years, I have attended births in hospitals, birth centers, and homes. I have supported women through unmedicated births, epidural births, cesarean births, first babies, and growing families. Every birth is different, and those years of experience have taught me to enter each birth with a deep respect for the process, a steady presence, and the ability to support each family exactly where they are .
