About Me
Originally from the Midwest, my husband and I moved to Colorado in 2019 as newlyweds, desiring a change of pace and more opportunities for outdoor play. Shortly after, we welcomed our first child into the world and were pleasantly surprised by the vibrant birth community in Boulder County.
As I navigated my own motherhood journey, I felt a deep calling to support other families through their own paths of conception, pregnancy, birth, and beyond. It was a calling I felt God had placed on my life, prompting me to transition from my corporate background, putting my MBA aside, to pursue training as a birth and postpartum doula through DONA International.
Today, I am happily settled in Longmont with my husband, our daughters, and two sweet pups. When I'm not providing compassionate support to families, you can find me baking sourdough, scouring thrift stores for hidden treasures, or preparing for an upcoming race.
