What made you get into birthwork?

Well, really started when I was about 5 years old. My mother went into labor with my little sister with no other support around besides me. I was able to help soothe my mother and find someone to help us. I then became a mother myself at 17 years old. The experience was a difficult one to navigate and I didn’t feel like I had the support that I needed. My second pregnancy was much different. I was supported by a wonderful doula and I knew from there that it was something that I really wanted to give back to the community.
