Lived Experience. Steady Support.
My path into fertility, pregnancy, and birth work was born out of lived experience.
Like many people, I believed pregnancy would come naturally when the time was right. Instead, IVF became part of our story bringing us into the world of fertility clinics, hormone injections, and early morning monitoring appointments.
When pregnancy did come, the path continued to shift. What began as plans for a home birth eventually led to a high-risk care team, a cesarean delivery, and a NICU stay.
Journeys like this change how you see fertility, pregnancy, and birth. They reveal just how unpredictable the process can be — and how important steady, informed support can be along the way.
That understanding is what led me to birth work.
There is no single “right” way to build a family or give birth.
There is only the path that unfolds and the support you have while walking it.
Through Hearthkeeper Doula, I support families navigating fertility, pregnancy, and birth. From IVF journeys to high-risk pregnancies, from home births to hospital births, and everything in between. My role is not to replace your medical team or dictate your decisions, but to help you understand your options, advocate for yourself, and move through this season with calm, grounded support.
The hearth has long been the center of a home — a place of warmth, gathering, and return when the world feels uncertain. To keep the hearth was to tend the flame with care.
That idea is the foundation of this work.
My birth doula training through Birth Baby Academy provided the clinical grounding for supporting families through pregnancy and birth, while my own experience shaped the way I hold space for the many different paths families walk.
Outside of my practice, my life is rooted in the Texas Hill Country, where my family runs a small ranch and raises animals. Living close to land and birth in its most instinctual form has reinforced something I believe deeply:
Birth is powerful, unpredictable, and worthy of patience and respect.
Fertility and birth are not just medical events. They are threshold moments.
You deserve support that honors both the science and the soul of what you’re walking through.
And I would be honored to keep the hearth with you.
