Well Connected Twin Cities
Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder

I am a DONA International certified birth doula and Childbirth Educator with 20 years of working with youth and families in the non-profit realm.

Serving families in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, I love helping parents realize their strength and ability. It is my desire to help families understand their rights and options so they feel empowered to advocate for themselves.

I truly believe children are a gift from God and the birthing process is nothing short of a miracle. I know I was created for this beautiful work. I have attended over 100 births.

I have spent two decades working to support healthy families. My career has included working as an after-school program director, healthy relationships/sexual health educator, community connector for an elementary school, homeless shelter co-facilitator and leading teen mission trips.

Originally from Cleveland, OH, I moved to Minneapolis in 2014. I enjoy spending time with others, watching TV /movies, eating good food and relaxing on the beach. My favorite things in life revolve around relationships with others!
