About Me

I am a Christian certified doula and have attended 145 labor & deliveries as of Oct 2026. I began learning about becoming a doula in 2020 and finished my certification in 2022. Between 2022-2024 I was very active in the birth community of Eastern NC, hosted community baby showers and free childbirth classes, formed The Duplin Doulas and Eastern NC Doulas group. I was the first doula east of Goldsboro to be fully contracted with Medicaid and helped broaden awareness of coverage. 2025 I was invited to speak at the annual March of Dimes conference and also became only 1 of 3 doulas to provide free doula support through Onslow's grant program. I became certified with CAPPA to support Tricare families and also with DONA to work for BlueCross Blue Shield. I have six children of my own, including 3 natural births (2 homebirths). I provide evidence based & heart based knowledge as an experienced advocate, educated guide, and caring "big sister" to all of my clients. I know when things are going as they should & I speak up for you when needed. I put myself in your shoes and am prayerfully mindful of when you need that extra nudge of encouragement, reassurance, coaching, partner guidance, continual support, quiet presence or space. I strive to meet your needs throughout changes in labor. I hope that by being your doula, you have a better birth experience and move into motherhood with a heart of joy & confidence. Im very blessed to be called into this work!

Growing up as the big sister to 2 little sisters definitely helped prepare me for doula work. I will look out for you too!
