About Born Motherhood
Bio
Hello & congratulations on your pregnancy! Birth work and supporting families has always been my passion, but especially so after experiencing 3 unmedicated hospital births with my own babies. After giving peacefully giving birth to my second baby, a nurse said to me "Wow! We never see moms give birth peacefully without help or medications." That was when I knew that I wanted to help take the fear out of birth for other women & their partners.
Q&A
Q: What drew you into working with parents-to-be?
A: Birth work and supporting families has always been my passion, but especially so after experiencing three unmedicated hospital births with my own babies. After giving peacefully giving birth to my second baby, a nurse said to me "Wow! We never see moms give birth peacefully without help or medications." Right then I knew I wanted to help other moms

A: My job is never to replace your partner, but to help them help you. You and your partner have an incredible bond. I am here to help them feel educated and confident in supporting you knowing that I am here to support you both!
Q: Are there any specialities in who you serve? (e.g. home birth, VBAC, etc.)
A: I serve homebirths, but specialize in hospital support, VBACS, trauma informed care, bereavement, breastfeeding education & support, and postpartum. I previously worked in the medical system as a patient advocate and social worker. I put my clients first while maintaining positive relationships with hospitals, offering clients the best experience!

A: I serve in-person doula & postpartum clients within a 1hr & 20 minute drive of Roanoke, VA. Virtual classes are offered for birth prep, breastfeeding education, postpartum preparation, & newborn care.

A: Prepare ahead and make sure you have support! Taking birth and breastfeeding classes will only improve your experience!
