Congratulations!  You are expecting!  Now what? Your journey into parenthood can be a wonderful time. Imagine looking back on your birth and knowing you knowing you understood your options, were fully supported through your birth, and had an amazing postpartum period. You can have it all!
​You can have a positive experience through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I offer services throughout the childbearing year to support you, including childbirth education, labor doula services, placenta encapsulation, and belly binding. Your decision to invest in support is an investment in yourself and your family.
I am a northern  Virginia birth doula, placenta encapsulator, childbirth educator.  I serve families in northern Virginia and Washington DC.  I am a homeschooling mom of two boys (although it feels like more sometimes!), active member of my church, wife of more than 13 years, cat-loving, dog-petting, chocolate eating woman who just loves birth, and helping couples transition into being "Mom" and "Dad".  I adore my clients and have a strong desire to serve first time parents as well as babies number 2,3,4,5,6......!  With experience with low-risk as well as high risk pregnancies, home birth, hospital births, and birthing centers, I have a myriad of skills to help you feel empowered and at ease during your birth.
