About Village Birth Services
Birth work
I’ve attended births at many of the hospitals in Middle Tn, Vandy Birth Center, and home births. I have experience with first, second, third and a couple of fourth time birthers. I’ve done VBACs, vaginal deliveries and surgical births. I’ve had clients choose to go unmedicated and those that choose an epidural for pain management. And I’ve had the honor of walking through pregnancy and infant loss with clients.

Meet the Doula
I live in Middle Tn with my spouse, 4 year old and two pups.
The birth of my daughter, Magnolia, was the the final spark to transition from my career in early childhood education to birth work.
I’m an Aquarius and enneagram 6 and feel like those 2 things *really* describe me well.
Some of my favorite things: getting tattoos, thrifting, iced lattes and my kid.
I love educating my clients on baby wearing since it was a lifesaver with my own Velcro baby.
