As your doula, I’ll be here to hold space for all that you’re bearing. I’ll provide trustworthy resources and reliable information so you can make well-informed choices that align with your values. I'll offer physical comfort and emotional support during labor and delivery, amplify your voice as you communicate your wishes to your healthcare team, and help you prepare for a more empowering and satisfying birth experience. And then I'll help facilitate a smooth transition home by providing emotional support and hands-on care (day or night) to help you navigate those early days with ease and gain confidence in your new role as parent to your newborn. I would be honored to stand by your side.
I’m passionate about capturing the entire perinatal journey—from the anticipation of pregnancy and the empowerment of birth to the wonder of those first hours and weeks, as well as those precious sibling moments. I would love to be your photographer and preserve these memories for you.
Whether you are looking to capture the joy of pregnancy or the miracle of birth, Bearing Brightly offers art services you'll treasure through our Belly Painting & Photography and Placenta Art Prints. More keepsake services are coming in 2026!

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! Let's get to know each other. I'm a mom to three young kiddos, wife to a teacher, and I'm in love with the world of birth! I'm passionate about providing reliable information and judgement-free doula support, and capturing all the amazing moments along the way. So, whether you just found out you're pregnant, only have a few short weeks until your birthing day, or have already welcomed baby home - I'd be honored to join you on journey.
At Bearing Brightly, we believe that everyone deserves empowering support and care throughout the perinatal year. Whether you're adding a first (or sixth!) child to your family, helping build another's through surrogacy or adoption, identifying as LGBTQIA+ or cisgender, partnered or navigating this path solo, hating pregnancy or loving every minute, you are celebrated here with open arms.
