If we are to heal the planet, we must begin
by healing birthing. ~Agnes S. Von Tannenberg~
Thank you for your interest in doula services, and congratulations on the wonderful journey you are in the midst of! I consider it an honor and a privilege to be a part of such a special time in your life, and I learn and grow from each family I work with. Thank you once again for considering me as someone to support you and your family in this beautiful time.
I have had a passion for birth since attending a birth as a primary support person (before I knew what a doula was!) to a divorced, single mother for whom I babysat and shared a friendship with, at the age of 17. Since then, my path has had many twists and turns but has ultimately led me here. I have completed the ALACE/toLabor Professional Labor Assistant training workshop and am close to submitting my official certification packet to them. I am also a part of the Small Miracles Volunteer Doula Program, and am a current UW Madison student majoring in Human Development and Family Studies. I also have a strong interest in lactation support and am beginning my Lactation Counselor certification through Childbirth International. I am a single mama to one child, my son Braeden, who was born naturally here in Madison with the help of another wonderful local doula and the UW Midwives.
Please take a look around the site to learn more about my own background and philosophies, the role of a doula and the benefits of having one, and the different options available to you. Congratulations and I hope to hear from you!
