Birth doula in Rogers, Arkansas
Birth doula in Bentonville, Arkansas

Welcome! — I’m glad you’re here

Born and raised in the Ozark Mountains, I am honored to serve families in Northwest Arkansas and surrounding areas as a birth doula.

How birth work found me

I believe birth to be a beautiful, transformative experience to the women and families who walk through it. Becoming a mother opened something in me— a deep reverence for birth, and a desire to serve others through it.

I believe an empowered pregnancy and birth translates to an empowered motherhood. It is my mission to bring an evidence-based approach to mothers seeking support during their pregnancy and labor so that we may work together towards a holistic and informed birth. 

How I got here

My formal training for doula work is through Childbirth International, an accredited organization. Through that certification, I have extensive knowledge on pregnancy, labor and birth support as well as postpartum guidance in the form of lactation support.

I also have my Bachelors in Science of Nursing and have worked as a registered nurse in various settings for over 6 years. While working as a birth doula, I am apprenticing to become a licensed lay midwife as well! Having two home births while simultaneously working in the hospital setting for years has given me the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds and a gained knowledge that has become invaluable towards my work with clients.

The life that shapes me

When I’m not at a birth you can find me at home being mama to two wild, little boys. Parenthood has been the sweetest version of my life and I’m happy to do it alongside my guy. My family of four live in the Eureka Springs, AR area which allows me a wide area of women to serve in Northwest Arkansas!

My favorite things include the month of October, boiling hot coffee in the morning, medium-rare steak, walking barefoot in the grass, staying up late to chat with my husband, and listening to my children laugh.

I like to think of myself as good-natured and down-to-Earth. Working as a doula, I have been lovingly duped as “your built-in best friend who happens to know a lot about birth” which I will gladly be for you.

What I Offer

Whether this is your first birth or you are an experienced mama, I offer my services throughout your pregnancy, labor and birth, and early postpartum. My care is completely customizable for you, but in general, here is a brief description of my offerings:

  • Receive guidance as we navigate together what birth and motherhood will look like for you. Meeting together for prenatal sessions will help prepare you and your support system for your upcoming labor.

  • Giving you 24/7 hour support in the weeks leading up to your birth. During labor and delivery, I will be there every step of the way as helper to you and your support system.

  • In the form of washing dishes and folding a load of laundry or providing lactation support (or anything in between) let me help you create sacred space in your home as you welcome your little one into your life.
