About Me

It all started with…

my elementary classroom in Houston, Texas. Surrounded by incredible women, our conversations often drifted to growing families, pregnancy, and the anticipation of new life. I celebrated positive tests, helped plan baby showers, and shared in the excitement of babies on the way.

But I also sat beside those quietly struggling, grieving another month without a pregnancy or processing births that did not go as hoped. Between lesson plans and lunch breaks, I held space for stories of joy, heartbreak, and resilience.

I did not realize it then, but my doula journey began in that classroom. In listening, comforting, and celebrating, I found my calling to walk alongside people through life’s most transformative moments, offering the support every birthing person deserves.

Currently…

I live in Saint Paul with my husband and our two little ones, who fill our days with laughter, messes, and endless energy. We moved to Minnesota in 2017 and quickly fell in love with our neighborhood, often spending weekends biking to cozy coffee shops, exploring new restaurants, and enjoying the beauty of this place we call home.

Before becoming a mother, my own path to pregnancy was far from simple. After a year of trying, I found myself overwhelmed by tests, advice, and opinions. We tried everything from acupuncture, fertility yoga, meditation, and visits to IVF clinics. Each month brought disappointment, and I felt increasingly alone and disconnected from my body.

Things began to shift when I found community. Connecting with other women and working with a compassionate fertility coach helped me move from control to trust. I learned to breathe again, to let go of constant searching, and to live fully in the present.

After nearly five years, we welcomed our miracle baby, followed by her brother just eleven months later. Both were born at home, in an environment of peace and deep support. Those experiences strengthened my belief in the power of being seen, heard, and truly cared for.

Now, it is my calling to walk alongside others on their fertility and pregnancy journeys, holding space, offering support, and reminding them they are never alone.
