My Philosophy
In my practice as a doula, it is my goal to ensure that families are well prepared to enter confidently into their own unique experience of childbirth and the journey of parenthood. I feel strongly that parents deserve quality information, tools and support that allow them to make empowered decisions every step of the way. The Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class is perfectly aligned with this goal. Since becoming an EBB Instructor in 2019, I’ve been honored to share this class with hundreds of expecting parents, and I’d love to have you join in on an upcoming session!

What Past Students Are Saying:
“We REALLY enjoyed your class and your calming, positive presence! You left us feeling more prepared, educated, and empowered to have a healthy labor and birth journey that aligns with our wishes. We can’t thank you enough for sharing your wisdom and experience with us.”
– EBB Childbirth Class Student September 2021
“It was a wonderful course and we have recommended it to every couple we know who are thinking about getting pregnant. We really appreciate your advice and your patience to answer all of our questions.”
– EBB Childbirth Class Student August 2020
“The walkthrough of labor was extremely helpful today. We both feel, overall, much more prepared and empowered. I thought labor and delivery would just be a horrific experience to get through, but now I’m actually looking forward to it! Thank you so much!!!!”
