About me

As a full-spectrum doula, I bring a unique and comprehensive skill set to the Central Texas community. My background as a Navy veteran, Army spouse, and mother of two has equipped me with a deep understanding of family dynamics and the importance of resilient support systems. I specialize in the mental and emotional health aspects of perinatal care, offering a supportive framework that addresses the full range of outcomes. My expertise includes bereavement support, specialized care for pediatric special needs, and a practiced approach to all birth types, from spontaneous labor to planned cesarean sections. My mission is to provide evidence-based, empathetic care that promotes positive mental health and well-being, ensuring you feel empowered and respected throughout your journey.
