Mom, Doula, Lactation Consultant, Podcaster + Founder of Wilder Beginnings.

I worked with an incredible doula during my pregnancies and I credit my peaceful and empowered births to her support and guidance. As a lifelong nurturer and supporter of women, I decided I wanted to be the one offering support, guidance, advice, knowledge, love and healing to others! I went all in, taking every course and training I could find and immersing myself in pregnancy/birth/postpartum education. As a full spectrum doula, I’ve been able to show up for moms during the most raw, real, and transformative moments of their lives.

I bring that same passion to help, inspire, and connect to women to Wilder Beginnings, an online community where I tell the unfiltered truth about postpartum and being a mom: the messy, hilarious, heartbreaking & beautiful parts, so parents are empowered to survive (and maybe even laugh through) the hardest parts of new parenthood.

Think of me as your pregnancy, birth and parenting BFF!

I am a certified doula, childbirth educator, certified lactation consultant and mom of two. Think of me as your pregnancy, birth and parenting BFF - someone you trust to tell it like it is, with the bonus of knowledge gained from extensive trainings and experiences.

ALL THE FUN IS ON INSTA

Keepin’ it real, one reel at a time.

You’ve seen the Instagram posts: “Get ready with me at 2 days postpartum!” “Here’s my perfectly curated nursing cart,” “Look at the 10 oz I passively caught in my Haaka while nursing on the other side,” “My baby loves the bassinet and sleeps there all night!” These highlight reels make you feel like you’re somehow already failing at motherhood before you’ve even had your first uninterrupted shower. I know what it’s like because I’ve been there, googling “is this normal??” at 3 am.

That's why I created Wilder Beginnings to be:

✿ A place you turn to (instead of Google) at 3 am

✿ A source of trustworthy, real-world education

✿ A permission slip to stop pretending this is easy

✿ Maybe too relatable moments that make you think: “I thought that was just me!”

✿ The virtual village of supportive and like-minded moms you’ve been desperately looking for

I’m a professional, I swear.
