Meet the Doula!A little about me...
I am happily married to my college sweetheart for 22 years and we have three amazing boys. As a mom who has given birth to three children (two of those babies were born in the hospital and one was born at home), I learned from all of those experiences that giving birth is really hard work, good support is essential, and no birth is ever the same nor does it come with guarantees. Even though each birth was vastly different, the one common thread through each experience was that I had an amazing support system of people who believed in me, encouraged me, and sought to be my biggest cheerleaders from start to finish. This inspired me to be that person for someone else. For the past two years, I have been consistently serving families as a labor doula and childbirth educator here in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I am a trained and certified professional doula offering non-judgmental support to my clients. I make it my goal to prepare them for the kind of birth they desire and commit to walk beside them every step of the way. I am also a certified childbirth educator offering personalized, private classes to couples wanting to learn about any and every aspect of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and beyond. As a doula and childbirth educator, my number one priority is to help my clients be as informed and supported as possible from start to finish in their pregnancy and initial postpartum journey. |
