Sacred Circle Doula

I am a lifelong learner with a heart for moms and babies and a drive to help others. While I've always loved babies, my experience as a teacher and my own journey into motherhood showed me just how crucial those early hours, days and weeks are. Starting out with evidence-based information and comprehensive, compassionate support makes an incredible impact on the family’s future. I believe the experiences of moms and babies matter, which is the driving principle behind my Postpartum Doula practice. The postpartum period isn't something to be endured and then forgotten. It's a space to heal, grow and thrive.

I also believe everyone who desires to breastfeed has the right to competent, comprehensive lactation support. My experience with my first son's tongue tie, colic, food intolerance and slow weight gain taught me hard it can be to find the right kind of support. Time and time again, fellow moms stepped in to help me when I felt ready to give up. I paid that forward as a La Leche League Leader, and now I offer lactation care as a Certified Lactation Counselor.

I live in beautiful Gainesville, Florida where I live with my husband, two sons and big baby of a dog named Leon. In my spare time, I love nerding out with nonfiction books, making art and spending time with my boys and our friends and family.
