A Little Background Information
Although I have lived on both coasts, I have called
Southern Colorado my home since 1986. I graduated from
the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs with a
Bachelors Degree in Anthropology. Although being a Birth
Doula is my true calling, I learned a lot about how the
world births their babies during my studies in college. I am
in a constant state of learning within the birthing field.
Whether it be through reading every book I can get my
hands on, studying the Cochrane Library’s collection of
studies, taking/sponsoring workshops or attending
conferences and seminars-continually keeping myself up-to-
date on the best most recent research and birthing methods
is a key part of my work as a doula- outside of the labor
room.
Of course, my husband and three children are the light of
my life. My personal birth history consists of a still birth at 24 weeks, a cesarean birth at term after extended
labor, a homebirth VBAC with no complications and an
induced hospital VBAC respectively.
In addition to providing exceptional doula care, I am also a CAPPA Certified Childbirth Educator. I offer classes that are a balance of practical, useful tools and information and creative, experiential exercises which work together to help you have a BETTER BIRTH. Choose from private completely customizable classes, OR an interactive group class. Please see my Services page for more details and class times.
Memberships and Certifications:
DONA(Doulas of North America International), CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association) ICAN-International Cesarean Awareness Network, Colorado Doula Association, Colorado Birth Resources, and Colorado Midwives Association.

I have often been asked, "Why did you become a doula?". My
response is simple. I have been a doula my entire adult life. I have had a life-long interest in pregnancy and birth and a passion for supporting women and their partners through the birth process into parenthood. In fact, I didn’t really become a doula, it’s in my blood. I am by nature a doula: I nurture, I support, I listen, I understand. I supported family members as well as numerous friends through their pregnancies and births long before I had ever heard of a doula or began my official study to become a Certified Birth Doula in 2003. I have supported women and families through many different kinds of birth experiences including natural unmedicated births, cesarean sections, medicated births, vaginal birth of twins, inductions and VBACs.
I am passionate about the value and importance of the birth
experience which forever changes a woman-creating a mother,
a family and memories that last a lifetime. I feel privileged to be
allowed to serve women and their families during this most
important time. In fact, I have taken the first step toward becoming a midwife in order to serve women, babies and families on a deeper level. I recently became the Midwife Assistant to homebirth midwife Laura Luckett, CPM in Colorado Springs. I hope to become a Certified Professional Midwife in the coming years.
