My journey into birth began when we had trouble
getting pregnant. My desire to learn and study birth
"just in case" led me to where I am today. When I was
finally able to become pregnant, I decided to birth
naturally at home to fully experience the birth of my
son. What I found was that the support I received from
my two midwives and doula were one of the most
important parts of my birth. It left me feeling whole,
empowered, and ready to love and care for my children.
After my 6 week check up, I was devastated to be
leaving birth behind. I decided that I would train
through DONA (Doulas of North America)to become
a certified birth doula. It has taken time and dedication
to get to this point. I am happy to say that I am a
certified doula and provide care consistent with the
DONA standards of care. Although I have chosen the
path of certification, I do believe it is not the only path
and each doula has the ability to decide how she can best
serve mothers.
I currently reside in Plano, Texas, a beautiful suburb of
Dallas. I am blessed to be the wife of a wonderful and
supportive husband, Tom, who each day challenges me to
be the woman I am. My three beautiful children,
Dunkan age 13, Zachary age 3 and Isabel now age 1,
are the ones who keep me physically, emotionally, and
intellectually on my toes. I have been blessed to
experience the love and emotions of being a mom to an
adopted son and to two biological children, neither love
of which is stronger. I cherish the moments I have spent
watching them grow and discover this beautiful world. I
am also mom to an active black lab named Amy. I am
devoted to my family, friends and faith in God.
My Birthing Philosophy...
Now you know a little about me! I would really love to
get to know you better. Please feel free to contact me to
schedule an interview, or just to ask a question.

My Birthing Philosophy...
- I believe every woman deserves to have the birth she
chooses. - I believe every woman deserves to have a supportive
birth team, including a doula, who knows how to
help her have a successful birth. - I believe that the birthing mom's husband or
partner is an intricate part of the birth team and
will work diligently to help him participate in the
birth at his comfort level. - I believe and support a woman's right to choose her
birth location, whether it be home, birthing center
or hospital. - I believe that my role as a doula is to first listen.
Then my role is to inform and empower the
mother. Then to facilitate the mother's wishes for
her birth by providing labor support. Lastly to
help you enjoy your birth experience and new
addition! - Although I am a Christian woman who has
chosen natural birth for myself, it in no way
diminishes my ability or desire to help women who
have different beliefs or desires in life or for birth.
