About Me
I’ve always found pregnancy and birth to be wildly fascinating, and this only increased once I got pregnant and birthed my first son. Witnessing firsthand how the body changes and is capable of creating a completely new human was mind-blowing to me. I went through several rounds of IUI, two rounds of IVF, and three embryos before successfully becoming pregnant and birthing my and my wife’s son. I had imagined this serene, and magical home birth, however my body had other plans. Hypnobabies was my personal saving grace during my hospital birth; my son was brought earth-side quickly and relatively painlessly.
Pregnancy is not always rainbows and butterflies for every person, and I can personally attest to this. With the right support person(s) though, it can be made to be a more positive, empowering experience for almost everyone. My goal is to help as many people as I can experience a peaceful and positive pregnancy and birth. I want to be able to give expecting parents the tools, confidence, and peace of mind they need to embark this life changing journey.
Whether you are a cis/straight couple, also part of the LGBTQ+ community, on your second+ pregnancy, or a woman on a solo voyage I would be honored to be a part of this adventure with you, guiding you through an amazing time in your life. I have trained through DONA and Hypnobabies and look forward to helping you and your family bring another little miracle into our crazy world.
Fun Facts:
I grew up in a tiny village of about 500 people in Nebraska and have lived in California for the past 11 years. I’ve spent most of my time in Huntington Beach but we now reside in the suburbs of Mission Viejo, CA. I’m a bonus mom to three amazing boys who have become great big brothers to our littlest one, and we also have two cats and two dogs. My wife and I were able to use the same donor sperm for our youngest son that was used for the oldest three boys (10 years apart)! When I’m not assisting families, I enjoy playing flag football, hiking, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends. My embarrassing guilty pleasure - Reality TV.
