✨DOULA SUPPORT AVAILABILITY
*serving north Mississippi*

With 12 years of experience in birth work and having supported 200+ families, I offer compassionate, educational, and personalized support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

✨Pregnancy Support
Personalized support throughout pregnancy, including nutrition and nourishment, birth planning, birth education, comfort measures, informed decision-making, and preparing you and your partner for birth and postpartum.

✨Hospital Birth Support
Continuous physical, emotional, and informational support throughout labor. I provide hands-on comfort measures such as hip squeezes, counterpressure, massage, positioning, breathing, and movement, while helping you and your partner navigate the hospital environment and available options.

✨Homebirth Support
Hands-on, continuous labor support in the comfort of your home while working alongside your midwife. I focus on comfort, positioning, emotional reassurance, partner support, and creating a calm, supported birth environment. I do not provide clinical care.

✨Postpartum Support
Support as you recover and adjust to life with your new baby, including newborn and feeding support, practical help, postpartum education, emotional reassurance, and helping you feel confident during those early weeks.

My role is to support your choices—not a particular type of birth. My goal is for you to feel informed, prepared, supported, and cared for throughout your entire journey.

Hi! it's been a while.

Years ago, this page was home to a huge part of my life. I was a stay-at-home mother of four, homeschooling (and unschooling), homesteading, growing herbs, fermenting foods, foraging wild plants and fungi , crafting, hosting workshops, studying midwifery, and helping families through herbalism and birth work.

Then life changed.

My marriage ended, and like many women do, I shifted into survival mode. My midwifery studies were put on hold. My herbal work took a back seat. I stepped away from this page and into whatever work was needed to support myself and my children.

Over the last several years I've worn many hats— potter, dog groomer, law firm assistant, house cleaner, and a few others along the way. Every one of those jobs taught me something, but none of them quieted the calling that first brought me here.

The truth is, I never stopped loving birth work, herbs and fungi , natural living, learning, creating, and supporting women and families. That part of me never disappeared. It was simply waiting for the right season to return.

Today, I'm back in my midwifery apprenticeship and beginning to rebuild something that feels more like me and who I am today compared to the young 20 year old who began this journey.

I don't have every detail figured out yet, and I know that that's okay.

This page will likely be a mix of birth work, placenta encapsulation, herbal and mushroom wisdom, supporting motherhood through new lenses and nervous system healing, creativity, and some medicinal brews along the way—including a few new things I've been designing and creating.

If you've been here since the beginning, thank you for sticking around and I’m so excited to be with you again! If you're new, welcome.

Here's to new beginnings, second chances, and finding our way back to ourselves.

I'm glad you're here. 🌿🍄‍🟫💜✨
