About me

Hi, I’m Krystal, a mom of five, lactation consultant, and birth doula with over 14 years of experience supporting families through birth, breastfeeding, and beyond. I specialize in VBACs, physiological birth, and helping families feel deeply supported and informed no matter where they deliver. With experience ranging from cozy home births to complex hospital settings, I bring calm, evidence-based care and a grounded confidence that helps families trust their instincts and stay present through every stage. I’m not the cookie-cutter “breathe and believe” type — my approach is real, relational, and rooted in respect for both your intuition and your options. Birth works best when you feel safe, seen, and supported…and that’s exactly what I’m here for
