I’m a DONA International trained doula dedicated to supporting mothers as they bring their little ones into the world. I recognize that each birth is unique. You are the expert of your body, your birth, and your baby. My role as a doula is to walk alongside you on your journey, sharing my expertise and providing evidence-based research as we go.
My call to become a doula began three years ago when my son was born. Despite having a well-thought-out birth plan aimed at a natural birth with minimal interventions, some unexpected complications arose. Thankfully, I had a doula who’s support during this critical time helped me achieve my goal of avoiding an unnecessary C-section. She was able to calm me down, guide me through pushing, and support my birth plan to give birth naturally.
A few months after my son’s birth, a friend who had previously had a challenging birth asked me to be her doula for her second child. From this incredible experience I knew this is what God has called me to do, and I have been helping mothers since! I am a proud member of the Christian Doulas of Michigan.
These experiences have encouraged me to help other women, whether they are first-time mothers or have experienced traumatic birth in the past. I want to be there for you!

A little more about me:
I live on the outskirts of Ann Arbor with my husband and son. Outside of my private practice, I work alongside a wonderful team of birth & postpartum doulas at Ann Arbor Doulas.
If you would be interested in working with me, but would prefer to have two doulas on your support team, I would encourage you to connect with me through Ann Arbor Doulas!
I also love yoga and would like to one day get certificated in prenatal yoga!
