You were created with a purpose. God knew you from the beginning, and He already knows the new life He is forming inside of you. If you’re fearful of what’s ahead, wrestling with a desire for control, or simply don’t know where to start, let me assure you - there is a way to walk this journey that glorifies the One who made you. My desire is to walk with you through it - offering biblical encouragement, evidence-based knowledge, and compassionate care as you take on the good work God has prepared for you.

My journey to becoming a doula began before I even knew what a doula was. I grew up on a farm, where daily life taught me the value of hard work and a simple lifestyle, and the wonder of caring for God’s creation. I joined the local fire department at 17, became an EMT, and worked in that industry for several years. Those years were some of the best and hardest, as I learned the beauty and weight of caring for people. Though I was raised in a Christian home, a lack of solid biblical teaching had left gaps, and I was unequipped to understand the brokenness I was confronted with daily. 

I stepped away and began a process of questioning and ultimately reforming my own faith. Slowly and gently, the Lord taught me about His sovereignty, His trustworthy character, and most of all, about the hope we have in Christ despite living in a fallen world. On the other side, I came away with true saving faith, a solid foundation, and renewed hope. Just when I thought I was done, He reignited a desire in me to serve others in tangible ways.

During my first pregnancy, everything came together. I studied everything I could about birth, amazed at the intricate design of the process behind it all. However, the birth world was a minefield of secular philosophy, New Age beliefs and practices, prosperity gospel, and everything in between. There were countless ditches to fall into, and very few clear, biblical voices speaking to women who wanted to apply Scripture to pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. I knew that I wanted to be that kind of companion for others. If you’re here, you may be looking for the kind of support that honors both the physiology He created and the faith you cling to. 

As I searched for doula education that would equip me to serve with that end goal in mind, I came across the Biblical Birth School. Through their program, I earned my Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator certifications. I later completed additional training to become a Brewer Diet Coach, enabling me to support you with evidence-based, nourishing guidance throughout pregnancy.

Wherever you are in this journey—joyful, anxious, curious, or overwhelmed—you do not walk it alone. I would be honored to support you, encourage your heart, and point you to the steadfast hope we have in Christ as you prepare for the beautiful task God has entrusted to you.
