Welcome to Your Doula Support Journey

Though it is becoming an increasingly popular area of advocacy, the United States continues to top the list of nations that are disconnected from the basic concept of relieving a mother of overwork and giving her dancing hormones the time and space to regulate through rest and proper nutrition. It's a grin-and-bear-it moment (complete with dark circles and wan complexion). And, these days, with more and more women literally and energetically holding the home together as the primary breadwinner, and very often as the emotional center of the home as well, the postpartum period becomes a pressure cooker. The unconscious message beamed from all angles is, "Get back at it. You can't afford to rest."

But it seems we can't afford not to. Anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that when deliberate physical care and support surround a new mother after birth, as well as rituals that acknowledge the magnitude of the event of birth, postpartum anxiety and its more serious expression, postpartum depression, are much less likely to get a foothold. Consider that the key causes of these disturbingly common, yet still highly underreported, syndromes include isolation, extreme fatigue, overwork, shame or trauma about birth and one's body, difficulties and worries about breastfeeding, and nutritional depletion, all of which suggests that when we let go of the old ways, we inadvertently helped create a perfect storm of factors for postpartum depression.”

Meet your doula

Hi, I’m a single mama of three and a postpartum doula with a deep love for supporting families through the early, tender days of parenthood. I bring over 20 years of experience in newborn care and a lifelong passion for nurturing—work that began when I helped care for my baby brother at 14 and continued through years as a nanny, Montessori preschool teacher, and now, doula.

Before becoming a doula, I spent over 15 years in the natural foods and wellness industry, working in grocery stores across Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, and Greenville, SC. This experience has allowed me to build strong relationships with local farmers, chefs, and wellness professionals, giving me a deep understanding of organic foods, medicinal herbs, and holistic wellness. I draw from this knowledge to create nourishing, homegrown meals for my family and clients and to support families in their wellness journeys.

When I’m not supporting families, you’ll often find me outside with my kids—exploring trails, digging in the dirt, or volunteering at a local horse stable. We’re also big fans of the rodeo and love spending weekends soaking up that wide-open country spirit.
