Better Births. Healthier Pregnancies. Better Experiences.
WHO AM I?
Hey! I'm Angel an easy going, spazzy momma of five, ENFP, and movie junkie ( you'll hear plenty of movie quotes from me!)
I'm your go-to friendly neighborhood doula, lactation counselor, and childbirth educator for mommas who strive for whole-body wellness for themselves and their babies.
WHY IN THE WORLD AM I IN BIRTH WORK?
One word: Breastfeeding
My entry into birth work began when I was working as a breastfeeding counselor for WIC. I discovered that a mother's birth could impact the success of breastfeeding. I also learned if a mom could have a good birth she could have a better start in breastfeeding ( talk about mind blown!) I figured if I could help women have better birth experiences I could help them do better with breastfeeding!
Add to the mix that I had five VERY different birth experiences from premature babies to VBA2C ( Vaginal Birth after 2 c-sections), and having unmedicated and medicated births, well I could give you quite a story!
​
So began my quest into becoming a birth worker!
So here I am helping moms have great births and better breastfeeding experiences.
DID YOU THINK THEY WOULD TELL YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT BIRTH?
Yeah...me too
Are you the mom who thought the doctors would tell her everything she needed to know and be there to help her cope with the birth process only to find out they don't tell you much...or do much?
Same girl same. That was me with baby #1. Planning to have a natural birth only to be strapped to super itchy bands ( that my daughter in utero also didn't approve of) laying in bed, which limited my ability to go anywhere. Not really what I envisioned for my birth. So yup been there done that.
This is why I like to let moms know THAT DOESN"T NEED TO BE YOUR BIRTH. I want YOU to know that YOU have options and it doesn't need to include laying in bed looking up at the ceiling wondering why this is so much different than you imagined. I got you girl!
HEARD THE C- SECTION WORD?
Some people feel like C- Sections are easier than vaginal births and I am here to say no way!
Whether you are a first-time mom trying to avoid one, going for a VBAC, or considering a repeat due to major complications, I am here to walk you through it as a two-time C-Section momma.
If you want to try your best to avoid one or have an amazing Belly Birth, LET"S DO IT! You'll have to put on your warrior makeup and be ready to take a stand for what you want but If you are willing to put in the work then so am I!
I WANT A NATURAL BIRTH BUT...
-
I'm scared of the pain
-
I don't know how to cope
-
I'm afraid I won't progress
-
My doctor/friend/family member said I won't be able to handle it.

One of my favorite things about being a birth worker is being a teacher! Firstly screw anyone who says you can't do it! You can do it!
However, living in a society that doesn't support physiological ( natural unmedicated birth) you are up against unique challenges.
I love working on a road map to help you get to your birth goals! Come Learn with Me I'll teach you everything I know!
AS FEATURED IN
WHO AM I FOR?
I'm for women who want these types of birth goals:
The mom that wants to try her hardest to avoid a c section
The high-risk mom that wants a natural birth
The mom who has to have a c-section but wants it to be as natural of a process as possible
The natural-minded crunchy mom who wants a natural unmedicated birth
All these moms also want to breastfeed ( if you want to do other feeding choices you do you! however breastfeeding is a huge focus of my work! If you're okay with that keep reading!)
Training and Certification
ARE YOU LIKING WHAT I'M PUTTIN DOWN??
Let's work together whether that's in the classroom, me by your side, or listening on your phone we can get to know each other more and see how we vibe!
