Our Story

While my own birth experience was unconventional due to the COVID pandemic, with the birth of my first child in 2021. I was fortunate to have a doula who supported me virtually through birth education, birth planning, and teaching me informed decision-making. 

While I felt confident and ready to use the tools I learned from my doula, my partner and I went into the birthing suite without his presence. Much of the birth plan I had laid out was unrealized. This challenging experience was magnified by my daughter's delayed congenital heart defect diagnosis.

My Partner and I were left to navigate a traumatic birth experience, a serious and complex hospital stay for our daughter, and the waves of complications, hurdles, and emotions that came along with it. 

By facing these often-complicated challenges and frequently isolating experiences, I emerged with the knowledge, strength, and a renewed voice of self-advocacy. I also found my passion for doula work, determined to assist others in having positive, supported, and health birth experiences.
