"I am here to provide you with the knowledge, care, and guidance you deserve throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey. I look forward to being a part of your support team during this incredible chapter in your life!"
My Training: While earning my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Marquette University, I developed a strong passion for treating pelvic and abdominal conditions. I sought out pelvic health internships, continuing education courses, and a post-graduate residency program at the Loyola University Medical Center. In 2019, I earned my board certification as a Women's Health Clinical Specialist.
My Birth Journey: With my first pregnancy in 2020, I experienced a disappointing labor and delivery that left me feeling defeated, mistreated and powerless. This heartbreaking experience led me into the birth doula world to help other families avoid similar disappointments due to lack of communication and support during labor and delivery.
Empowering Your Journey: Every pregnant person has the right to advocate for their birth preferences. Pregnancy, labor, and delivery are amazing but often overwhelming experiences, and having a solid support team can make all the difference.
My goals are to help you confidently create a team to navigate the incredible journey of pregnancy and birth, and rebuild a positive relationship with your body in the years after.
Beyond Serenity: When not busy assisting clients or staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in the pelvic health and birth world, I spend time with my wonderful husband, two energetic young sons, and three feline pests (not a typo, they are lovable furry demons).
