About Me

Welcome to Raising Moms!

I am a mother of 2, registered nurse in labor & delivery, and doula. I have over 10 years of experience working with mothers and babies and am excited to extend my work beyond the “golden hour” and into the fourth trimester. My goal as your doula is to provide you with emotional and physical support, evidence based information, and trusted resources when needed.

After experiencing first hand how difficult the fourth trimester was after birthing my own children, I realized how little support women receive during the fourth trimester. We are often so focused on planning for labor, birth, and raising babies that we forget that a mother is also born in the process. Who raises her? It became my mission to bridge that gap, and Raising Moms was born.

In 2023, I decided to extend my services and am now offering in-person labor support! My experience at the bedside as a labor nurse, attending hundreds of births, has taught me a variety of techniques to help guide pain management, provide emotional guidance, and support physiologic birth.

Whether it’s unbiased answers to your questions and concerns, help with feeding your baby, birth support, local resources, an ear to listen or a few quiet moments to yourself, Raising Moms is here for you!
