I’m a doula and educator serving the upstate region of SC (Greenville, Anderson, Seneca, Pickens, and Spartanburg). I offer group and private classes including Mindful Birth, Blissborn Hypnosis Class, Epidural Prep Classes, and Baby Blueprint parenting prep. My births taught me to trust my body and to overcome fear. They taught me to own my decisions and to be courageous. Your birth is your own and I’m there to support you in your decisions. The best birth is one in which you feel respected, supported, and heard. I support birthing families who desire:
* natural birth
* planned cesarean
* medicated birth
* homebirth
* hospital birth
I’m committed to inclusive, respectful care to birthing persons and families of all ethnicities, sexual orientations, identities, and spiritual beliefs. Contact me for current availability and to schedule a free consult. Now the IMPORTANT STUFF:
I think tacos are God’s gift to the world. I can (and regularly do) eat 13 at a time. When I lived in NY, I had the Mt. Olive Pickle Company ship a case to me. My special talent is finding four-leaf clovers. It’s not an especially helpful talent and no, I’m not particularly lucky. Still, if you see me walking across a patch of clover, you can bet I’m scanning the ground. I own a sleek sea kayak named Betsy. We need more time together. When I read aloud to the kids, I usually cry. The girls just roll their eyes. I loathe typos. If you find one on my website and tell me about it, I’ll send you a virtual hug. Growing up, I wanted to be a surgeon in the Congo. I was second-year pre-med before I realized how much I hated precision. I switched to English Literature and got lost in poetry. I think doula work is a lot like poetry.
