My husband and I and our three children have lived in the Reno/Truckee area since 2017.  When I am not working, I’m usually in my kitchen, cooking food for my family and baking sourdough.  With any spare time that I get I love to work on art projects, knit, and go running!

After the birth of my first child over ten years ago, a passion in my heart for mothers and babies began to grow.   I have had three natural births myself, two in the hospital and one at a birth center under the care of a midwife.   As the years went on, I found myself naturally filling the role of “doula” to the people in my life.  I was attending their births, teaching them to baby wear, and helping to navigate breastfeeding in those early weeks.  As I saw how much fear there was surrounding birth and postpartum, I felt I had to help these women.  I wanted them to know that they had choices and that birth was not only safe, but awesome and beautiful!   I began attending births as a doula in 2017, both in the hospital and home settings.


In 2019, I decided to pursue certification through DONA International. I feel so honored every time a family invites me into their birth story, and I am always in awe of women and their strength as they bring new life into this world.  I still cry tears of joy at every birth!  This work is a calling and I am so grateful to be a part of it.
