Welcome!

When I was pregnant with my first baby, Margaret, I was fascinated and so excited for labor and birth. I studied some 80 hours of a birth course in preparation for her arrival. When I was about 38 weeks, I thought my water broke while I was at work so I went in to get checked. While there, baby's heartbeat decelled and I was then instructed to just walk to labor and delivery to have our baby. Excited and also frustrated, we walked over. I knew this would mean induction. Through an intervention heavy labor, I delivered my beautiful baby girl unmedicated in the bright hospital room, hooked up to machines, completely opposite of my birth plan. Yet, I was still met with the most incredible experience imaginable. While in pain and unexplainable joy of delivering Margaret, I couldn't help but realize how divine the whole process was. No matter how out of control my birth plan was, I was able to see so clearly how perfect God's plan was. This was God's design and I was His great cooperator in it all. How blessed was I to be able to experience this beautifully chaotic birth. In reflecting on my experience, I saw my birth as a devotion not only to God, but my family.  ​ I was inspired to become a doula to help families through the challenges of labor and birth. I hope to show mothers how birth is not a medical issue to be scared of or to fix quickly but rather a process that was designed perfectly by the one who created us.
