Meet Your ProDoula
Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: I come from a very large family; I have 14 brothers and sisters, I have 13 nieces and nephew, and have assisted in the caring for over 64 children through the foster care system. I have witness, supported, and cared for women at all stages of conception. I have certifications in Fertility I, II, and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Postpartum Yoga, Children's Yoga, Advanced Prenatal Anatomy and Physiology, and Pelvic Floor Anatomy and Physiology. I am also a certified Postpartum and Infant Care Doula and a pre-certified Labor Doula. Currently, I am the only Yoga Alliance Certified RPYT in all of West Michigan. This is the highest credential in the field of Prenatal Yoga. I can't have enough information in my brain to ensure Mama and baby are safe, healthy, and supported.
What led you to become a Doula?: As my husband and I decided to have children of our own we found the our journey wasn't quite as straight of a line as we would have hoped. For the past few years I have been going through fertility treatments to become a Mama myself. During that process I have found, what I feel, is my divine path. The more women I spoke with the more I realized how beautiful and unique each of our journeys truly are. I have fallen in love with all things women's reproductive health in a hope to support more women, no matter where they are on their Mama journey.
