Meet Your ProDoula
Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: I have many years of experience working with children and infants. I started babysitting in my home at the age of 13. At 16 I began working in a daycare. When I was 19 I taught classes at The Little Gym here in St. Louis. And at 21 I moved to Florida for a semester to work at Disney World doing the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Oh that was so much fun! The following year I was married and moved to Louisville KY where I taught and co-managed My Gym of Louisville. There I became very close with so many mothers and babies. I later became a nanny and I have been a nanny off and on over the years. I am also a motherhood photographer. As a photographer I have a unique ability to really connect with children and capture the precious moments of motherhood. As a postpartum doula, I can truly connect with my mothers on a personal level understanding motherhood myself. I have experienced the highs and lows of being postpartum twice now and am happy to support mothers in whatever capacity they need for that day. I want to be there for every mother mentally, physically, and emotionally. I can provide infant care, sibling care, or housekeeping support and more. My heart has always been to serve and love others.
What led you to become a Doula?: As a mother of two wonderful children I have experienced the highs and lows motherhood. I have always had an interest in labor, delivery, and infant care. But it wasn’t until I experienced two natural births (my first without a doula or postpartum doula and my second with both), that I realized the massive impact a doula had on a family’s life. I have always been told I have a calming presence, warm spirit, and friendly demeanor. And it was a friend encouraging me, and reminding me of these attributes that said, “you should really consider being a postpartum doula.” I continued to think about it and pray about it and felt that yes, being a doula is a culmination of all of my giftings, attributes, and interests wrapped together. I love supporting other mothers and families. It is my goal to make sure that every mama feels fully heard, fully supported, and fully loved - being reminded that they are fully known!
