I live in Liberty MO!

I am a certified postpartum doula , and very passionate about helping new families adapt to the challenges and changes of welcoming baby into the family and home.

What is your background in? And what led you to Postpartum work?

I offer prenatal, postpartum and sibling support. My postpartum doula certification is through the Midwifery Institute and I am infant,, child and adult CPR certified as well.

What are your long-term goals? 

I look forward to continuing my work with new parents and pursuing additional studies to specialize in lactation support and/or sleep training.

What are 3 strengths that people have noticed about you?

I enjoy sharing vast experiences to help parents find solutions with challenges they are facing.

Caring for babies and their parents has always been second nature to me and I have over a decade of experience working with amazing families.

Being able to connect and hear parents so that we can best fulfill their needs is something I've received a lot of good feedback about.

What are your favorite things to do outside of supporting families? Tell us about your hobbies & obsessions!

I love reading which has made it a joy to continually pursue education in family care.

I manage the office for a chiropractic practice part time and LOVE my job and helping our patients to keep healthy and happy.

Another thing I appreciate is all the time I get to spend with babies and children. Even though it can be challenging it is very rewarding and fulfilling.
